Background Picture is Too Faint

This may be a stupid question but how can I make my "Today Background" image appear in its normal colours and brightness. It seems whenever I make an image my background, it becomes very faint with a white or transparent filter being applied. I just want my background to be the same as the original picture. Any help is appreciated.
P.S. I'm running WM5, HELMI ROM AKU3.2

Thanks, it worked. It's a bit odd that you have to open the picture in the "Pictures & Videos" program and set it as the today background from within there in order to get transparency options, especially since the "Album" program is the default handler for pictures. Even more odd that the transparency option is not available under "Settings" -> "Today"
Must just be the ROM, I'm assuming other WM2005 PDA's would have the option under Settings somewhere...

Problem with several apps and wm6

Ok since I'm using wm6 I got a small problem - everytime I want to use some applications like pocket artist this small icon that openes the on screen keyboard blocks most of my tools - the soft keys won't display but that small icon in the middle - is there something like a list where I can put the filepath in and it won't display the icon in that app?
I'm using Shaps wm6 4.0 Rom.

My Ideal ROM

hi
Current ROM 2.12.04 WWE o2. It's not bad and only has a few problems with the camera driver and an rtc error thing that happened once (VoIP) since then I have no service, but maybe out of good range (datarate). It's got pdf good PIE resolution and other things like a MIDlet manager that has a gamecanvas object which ignores most of the keyboard, and does not remember my allow connect settings. Should really be a com manager option to decide data shut off timeout.
I would like the title and menu bar to be smaller and have better document scrolling and navigation via keyboard standard shortcuts. Shift + cursor?? for fast scroll. I would like pocket office to remember my zoom setting, and they should be global.
radio: walki talki features on wifi. good use of pick up button in closed clam down way.
main rom: faster and factored for smaller cache footprint and flash footprint. Remove the empty pixels around controls. have bat level as colourization of title bar and memory garbage/heap compaction improvements. any spare flash as disk. a close timeout on applications. close button replaced by task button throughout. fewr unused msn market and searchie tools. regular button toolkit used throughout including dialer and com manager. no error when restarting gsm. multiple sync personalities to keep my data off other backup pcs and not flooding my outlook with work notes. not having to replug usb when switching ICS, acitivesync or data storage on and off. a voip config tool inbuilt multiprofile depending on network stored with number (contact groups). the outlook email is not suitable without a good spam filter so I use web email. graphiti sip and keyboard only. make it open at side on landscape view. all device export to pc so can use as softphone audio, and as big pc keyboard etc. selectable. no boot logos straight to today. a few xtra colours by using delta arround colour wheel to get all colours used in any scheme, say green look can be made a blue look by a slider.
extension rom: blank storage with inbuilt (deletable) cabs for skype and others. skype using default toolkit. dst in main rom. video calling. eTcl and some other development tools, such as total commander and pockethtml. htc network storage.
ok I would upgrade to this. I suppose a cab extractor for no desktop needed installing would be too much to ask,
cheers jacko

Background disappeared once installed Gant icon set

hi there.
i'm skinning my HD.
i've found that awesome Gant icon set which installed in a second.
after rebooting though, i've discovered that all tabs background where disappeared.
please note that i've just modified the MAIN background image via the standard manila softweare setting without messing with manila editor (i still have to do )
do you think is there a way to solve this problem?
should i simply modify the 5acxx_manila file in order to have backgrounds back?
what do you suggest me?
do you know if there are other issues with camera too?

Text color

I ran into this "problem". I changed my background to a picture and used the bg 4 all utility to have the same background on all manila tabs, but now my backgrounds are also changed in the SMS reading panel 'threaded sms), the contacts screen and maybe some others screens too. Because this text is in black, my changed background makes the text very hard to read and it should be changed to white if possible. Does anyone know if and how you can change the text color?
I searched the forum, but didn't find answers.
same problem
i have also this problem.
i deleted this app.but i love it
help help help
is there anyway to make this problem
Would also like to know if there is any update on this, the other alternative I have posted a thread for is how to have a little more customization over where the background goes, e.g. select to leave default background on contact edit window etc etc.
Hopefully someone can help?
Jody
Update on this, found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479112&highlight=curtain
The stocklite CAB allows what we were after, only the manilla tabs get the background, the ones with the white background remain.
I am running it successfully on Dutty V3
I haven't personally tried the background for ALL tabs and apps yet, but this does sound intriguing. I have spent ages playing around with an APP that changes ALL the text, pop-up, bars, scrollbars, title, background etc etc colours, in an attempt to have a completely black background and crisp white text (ie. like TF3D). However... there are limitations to this, and it is VERY hard to achieve a consistant and fuinctional look (since many colours are shared, and quite often you come across a pop-up or menu items that are the same colour).
But... if the APP you mention underlays a black background image in PocketOutlook without actually changing the preset windows colour... this may actually work.
Here's the freeware to tweak colours (UI Tweaker): -

I'm definitely interested to see if anyone else gets somewhere with this?
