WinMerge(WinIMergeLib.dll) uses Direct2D to rasterize SVG images. Direct2D's SVG rasterizing feature is limited as described below, so it may be rendered that way. It seems that the rendering engine itself needs to be changed to change this behavior.

It seems that the difference in alpha value is only 1 as shown below.

If you want to ignore this differences, you can increase the value of "CD Threshold" on the left side to ignore the differences.
