Hello! I am having a problem with the brightness of my Start Menu background. I am using the same background as on my today screen, and on the today screen its much brighter than on my Start Menu screen. Can anyone help me? =)
This is because of a transparent layer which lies over the background picture. It is supposed to make your icons better readable. Dont think that there is an easy workaround for this....

Hey guys, how can i set my background to clear not tranparent
tnx
clear not tranparent
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
I would have thought with a bigger and better resolution display than the I-Phone the icon buttons on the Programs window would have been brighter and clearer. For instance I find it hard to distinguish between Notes and Tasks; Goggle Maps and Calculator.
Which is why I would like to ask why each icon is set in a black background on each button; and then in turn the buttions are on a black screen background.
Does anyone know of a way so that the coloured icon fills the whole button? Or maybe specs are the way forward?
weird, i dont have problems like that. Have you tried using glasses?
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.
Hi all,
I managed to set up a new HD background that I am very happy with. However I was also wanting to make the slider background either disappera or lighter. Lighter would be my preference instead of the current black. Also I would like to have my custom background for when I press the start button too, but instead it is the usual stock black background. All help is greatly appreciated
Have found a glass slider, all I need is the same background for the start menu
When you set the lock screen background it will also become your start menu background. Slide to the settings tap and go to "personalisation" (is it called that? I have a german ROM installed). It should be the first option in settings...
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
