white today screen backgrounds with custom pictures? - XPERIA X1 General

Whenever I try to use a custom picture for my background for my today screen, the image has a "white out" look to it, meaning its a very bright version of my image. How can i use the original image for my background?

When you set your wallpaper, it will ask about transparency.
Set it to 0% and it'll look just like it should!

ok thanks! my problem that i was using settings>>today>> then the "Use this picture as the background"

but is their anyway to change the lettering to white without adjusting the transperency of the background?

You mean the font color on the today screen? Isn't it white by default?

ok nevermind i got it, i forgot i had recently changed my theme too

dont really understand what you mean
you want it to be clear but not transparent ?
clear then how ?
just a colour ?
You probably mean the picture on your Today-screen.
That is an interesting question I would like to know.
Furthermore since I have upgraded to 1.72 the picture I have on my Today screen has lowered 2-3 mm, so there is a white band right over my date display.
Anyone know an answer to adjust that (and change the picture from being transparant to bright)
i still have no clue what you want
you can adjust the background picture in a theme maker
i mean the opaque wallpaper in today's screen. not transparent
so you want remove your wallpaper?
hey double_ofour, i\'m not sure either what you want, but i\'ll try..
anyway, if you mean the transparency of the picture you\'re using on your today screen, here\'s what you can do:
1 Go to Pictures, select the pic you want to use as background
2 Click Tools > Set as Today Wallpaper
3 Then from there, you can set the transparency level for that. (0-100%)
But if you mean for the picture quality on your today screen to be more crisp and clearer.. I guess it just depends on the quality of the picture you use. I tried using a high res pic as a walpaper, and it appeared to be more crisp and clearer.
Or did you mean for your background to be just a plain screen?? -- I haven\'t really tried that yet, but the only work around i can think of right now is for you to find a nice plain pic (any color you want, perhaps a plain white jpg will do) then use that as your background. (sorry for this lame suggestion, i\'m just trying to exhaust all options)
Is this what you meant?
like Guts_S; i'm also trying to digest what you want to do so i'll give it a shot as well. if you want to clear up your today screen; as in the only thing left is the wallpaper then you should download the app "no plugins today". put it in your start menu; clicking it will clear up the today screen and leave only the wallpaper / pic you have. clicking the app again will restore all the today plugins.
as guts_s said; if you simply want a plain color (no pic whatsoever) then simply save a plain colored pic, sync it to your ppc and use pictures to use it as the wallpaper...
are we there yet?
cheers

Changing the tab color?

I have the T-Mobile TP2 and the main color (tap, background and start menu drop) is navy blue. I want to change the color or put a background image that would make those the same image or color. Is their anyway to do this? I change the background color black, but the only thing that changed black is the home screen. The background for programs, bottom tabs and start menu drop is still navy blue. Looks really ugly.
This is probably what you're looking for. If you search for tmobile, there's a bunch of threads dedicated to debranding.

Screen Saver Bakground Color

Not sure if anyone has noticed but when using a screensaver that is suppose to have a transparent background (be able to see what is on the desktop) it defaults to the background color chosen for the start screen theme.
An easy example is the bubbles screensaver that comes preloaded, the weird thing is when selected and you preview it, it previews with a transparent background you are able to see what is on your desktop, but when you let it run its time and it pops up on its own it replaces the background with the color theme you chose for your start screen.
any ideas on how to change it to remain transparent? I've tried changing the background color of the start screen to transparent with Decor8 but the screensaver background still is not transparent.
attached are the images of how it should look and how it actually looks.
never noticed it, but i tried and indeed the background isn't transparent. strange

Homescreen font color problem

Home screen icons have the labels displayed below them. This is not an issue for me - but the black font they are displayed with bothers me... is there a way to change that?
I have root and CloudyG3 rom..
If i change wallpaper it fixed and become white font but after restart or add new widget again it goes black font.
Thank you!
They are black on lighter wallpapers, set darker wallpaper and it will change automatic to white font..

There is no option to keep the font color white all the time?

Yotaphone 2- white text on black background/invert colours EDP

Can anybody please tell me if theres a way to get my yotaphone 2 (black) to invert its colours or display white text on a black background on the EPD?
Basically I would like to have my phone function in the same way as the yotaphone white's do, i.e in a 'night mode' style display.
All help will be appreciated

Hello
Not sure of what you are looking for. You can always invert the black & white in Yota reader, but That's the only thing I know. If you want to invert the whole epd screen all the time, I have no clue.
Yep im trying to invert the EPD all the time like it is on the white version of the phone found in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYThtveI8iQ
Would it not be possible to flash the white versions firmware to my phone?

White Theme.

I have done that and it changes nothing about the display, my phone is rooted, do you think that might be affecting the white theme from working?
When you load the 'white theme' doe s it invert the colours/give you white text on black background?
