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.

Hi all... First of all, gotta say this is an amazing forum. Lots very good information and smart people!
Now for my problems. Being the noob I am, I'm sure the answer is somewhere on this site, but I'm not able to find it. Basically there are two issues on the attached screenshot.
1) Obvious, but still... black background color in the top part of the Launch program screen of TF3D (and other similar screens).
2) Bottom Bar (that normally holds "Phone" and "Programs" link, or in this screen "Back") has gone grey on me. Now this is not TF3D related. Still there if I disable it, and it seems the color changes slightly if i change the windows theme, so I think its not actually grey, but transparent. At some point i got it to look the way I wanted, but after a soft-reset it's back to being transparent. Thinking maybe I have managed to overwrite a file in the rom?
Anyways... The Noob gives up in hope of some professional answers
Thanks in advance!

I have WM 6.1 and have recently changed my background to something that has some white in it. Now because of this and the fact that the start menu is transparent I can't read some of the text in the menu.
Before anyone suggests it, yes I'm aware of how to change the text color using the registry. I am not interested in doing this, I tried it and didn't really like it.
I am looking to do one of two things:
1. Remove the transparency.
2. Add a thin black stroke to make it readable.
Any suggestion that works is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Does anyone have any knowledge of what I can do here? This is really pretty obnoxious and I don't know how to fix it.

Actually, the start menu is not transparent, but rather it uses a piece of the picture in your background to make it look as if it was transparent. Changing system fonts might solve your issue. There are a few programs that will allow you to do that in Dev&Hacking. Also, I believe that mrMakk has a tutorial on how to do this.
Alternatively, you can try to change the menu picture by using something like Theme Creator v2 or Theme Generator v2 (I can't remember the correct name for the program).
Thanks man, I'll give the theme generator a try when I get home.
Theme generator only works on 2002. The themes it generates could not be applied to WinMo 6.1...
Anyone got another suggestion? Surely there is a way to change the start menu picture in WinMo 6.1...
When I select a picture and set it as a Today Background, it brings up a screen so that I could select a Transparency Level.

I don't believe that this is what the user is asking for.

He is asking about the transparency of the Start Menu isn't he? When you click on Start it drops down a menu correct?
On my phone, when I go to save a picture as my wallpaper, I am able to change the transparency of the Start menu. I'm not saying that's the only way, that's the only way I know and it worked for me.
If I'm wrong, I apologize.
