Hi everybody,i am using arabic jasjar now installed wm6.Since i buy this i have a strange problem whenever i try to change wallpaper using "Use this picture as the background" wallpaper displayed on today screen is faded.i don't know it looks like this or i have some sort of problem.if anybody have a solution please help me.
I believe it is to do with the level of transparency set by the system. The only way that I know of getting around this is to add your picture to the picture gallery and from there set it as a background for the Today screen and set transparency to zero.
Thank you very much wovens for this tip,now it is ok.

I have a lovely photo as my today wallpaper but it is faded out so much it's spoilt. Is there a way I can make it display without any transparency. I have searched these forums and gone through all the option I could find on the phone and didn't find anything.
Thanks

Trying viewing the photo through pictures & Videos in start menu programs. Then choose photo and go to menu, you will see set as today background, then you can adjust transparency!
Hope this helps
Great, thank you. I would never have found that. GF is looking good on the phone now.
Thanks again.
How about is it possible to make the start menu background opaque so that I can actually read what is in the start menu??
I would rather use a registry setting than a tweak tool, thanks.
I just uninstalled cLaunch, a couple of Zombienexus themes and dialer skins, iContacts and Slide2Unlock. (Gonna reinstall and start fresh)
I'm pretty sure that it has nothing to do with it but as I am choosing a wallpaper/BG from Settings>Today >"Use this picture as the background"; It is no longer giving me a preview of the wallpaper with the slider for the opacity.
Did I delete it?
Does anybody know what I can do to fix this as all my backgrounds are washed out.
Thanks.
Anyone have anything on this? I'm having a similar problem. I tried to install HTC Home on mine and it locked it up. Had to do a hard-reset, then reinstalled the WM 6.1 ROM and it still doesn't give me the slider or the preview.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This was the first thread to pop up in a Google search of the site. After some further investigation, let me answer my own question...
Hi guys,
When I put a picture as the today's wallpaper, the picture is lighter than normal.
Is there anyway to fix it and get the real picture colors ?
Thx

If you set the image under settings/today, thats what you will get. For some reason it uses a transparency value (nowhere to change this here).
The best and easiest solution I have found, is to open the Camera, and view the Album. Browse to the image you want, click it and keep it pressed so that the context menu comes up, select "Set as Today Background...". This will show you the image, and allow you to set the transparency level. Set it to zero, and the image in the Today Background will look exactly as it should.

Does anybody know the solution?

Hi there...
I just got mine and first thing I wanted to change was the background image.
1) disabled TouchFlo3D in settings->home>elements
2) tried to set background image
my problem: The background image appears very bright almost white, so i cant really see it and because it is so white i almost cant read any words...
Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

This is one of those things that really bugged me when I first started using Windows Mobile. If you choose your Today screen background by going to "Today" in "Settings", the transparency is set at 50% or 60% by default.
Open the "Pictures & Videos" app. Select the image you want to use. Tap menu, tap "Set as Today Background...". Here you can set the transparency to 0% and tap ok.
Btw, I wonder why there's a transparency setting in the first place. Are there items that can appear beneath the wallpaper?
Yeah I had this problem a long time ago on my MDA do what he said and you should have a nice dark background in no time.
Hey guys,
the other day I noticed that the Touch2 default background has a shadow on the top of it - I removed the top bar from my touchflo and now it's annoying me.
The default background that displays before Touchflo loads doesn't have this shadow, though, and neither does the lock screen when set to default.
I've searched the forums but couldn't find it - does anybody know the location of the default background as it is before touchflo loads over the top?
Cheers

Hello Jennan, agree with you that the schadow does not look nice for the reason you mention....when trying both today screen and lockscreen the shadow remains....however with lockscreen it seems that the wallpaper is "shifted upwards" so less shadow visible....see also picture here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578168
No idea how that is done.......
thanks frank, you're always helping me out. appreciate it
Frank, I think I found the answer
I disabled touchflo and took a screenshot with Ilium Screen Capture. I then edited that image slightly to stretch it where the top and bottom bars are - it's not perfect, but given that those areas are normally covered, it's as close as we're going to get.
Image is free to use for everyone, no credit needed.
Nice work.....!
Checked my "reservoir" and found this theme from Hero.....not the same but perhaps you like aswell.....
Cheers Frank, thanks for that
By the way I am using yours right now......
