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...

Menu backgrounds?

So is there any way to change file explore, program, setting menu, etc menus background?
That poor white is just cheap looking..

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?

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.

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

Anyone know how to tie an app to XBMC home screen?

I bought a preloaded FTV so I dont know anything about how these are setup. I tired to search but I cannot find anything as Im sure Im using the wrong wording. Anyway, there is an Internet option on the XBMC home screen that was tied to FF browser. I wanted to change which app that button launches. How can I do that? I have the app already side loaded... Thanks!
I need to find out here the app is so I can assign the ' Default select action '
Depends on the skin, you can customise some skins and change the buttons around. It's under appearance and then skin settings, depends on the skin how it is implemented though.
What skin are you using? What do you want to add to the home screen menu?
ITs Aeon Nox. I did find where the options are to change button name, what shortcut to apply to it etc. Im going to assume that I need to use the Custom option and type in the location of it on the storage where its located. Since it'll be pulling the app from the FireTV side of the AFTv ( Its side loaded... ) The only way I can access it now is by going all the way back to AFTv screen and going to settings and all apps ( or something like that )

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want a button for firefox in aennox just add firefox to your favorites, then select it from your favorites when setting up the button.
Or if your using Aeon Nox 4, you can add it directly to the Home screen.
Go to System > Appearance > Skin (Settings) > Custumizer (Main menu item customizer)
Then on the Main menu, select the item you want to add as a custom menu item and select it. If if has a red X on it, then select "disable" to enable it, then select "Choose Type".
Now select "Custom" and in the keyboard box type in:
StartAndroidActivity("your.app.apk")
So for example Netflix would be:
StartAndroidActivity("com.netflix.ninja")
You can do this for either the main menu item or for sub-menu items.
Thanks!!!
How do I add Firefox to my favorites
Or how do I find the directory where Firefox is so I can type it in the custom StartAndroidActivity section
Finally got iy. I had to go back into the Confluence ++ skin, add the app to my favorites and then go back into the custom Aeon Nox skin and then add the app from favorites...

[Q] How to use S-Note background images??

Open S-Note. Open menu (three horizontal lines, top left). Bottom shopping cart: More features. Background image.
Yep, there, they are, the seven pretty backgrounds I downloaded while browsing a nice-sized library of options.
BUT HOW DO I USE THEM? No matter where I play around, I can't seem to find how to *use* one of the images! I can select it in the screen I just described, but then the only option is to delete it. I can change the background color of an action memo (wow, I'd really love an action memo with one of these backgrounds, but I guess not). I can change the template and cover in an S-Note, and change the defaults for those. But nothing lets me use a background image???
How do I use these things? And almost as importantly, now that I've run all over my phone trying to figure it out, where did I go to browse that lovely list and download the things in the first place?
I'd really love a link to a tutorial (article, video, whatever) if anyone could point me to one.
Thank you in advance!!!!
If I understand your question correctly...
With S-Note open to one of the individual pages, tap edit key, tap three dot menu button, tap page options, hit change background, select a background and tap apply.
Note 4
