Why does my WM wallpaper end up so light on my Touch?

[bartalane]

I make a nice looking 240x320 wallpaper that looks just fine on my PC but when I transfer it to my phone it's very light and washed out looking. I try to darken it up in photoshop but then it loses a ton of detail. How can I get wallpaper to look on my phone like it does on my computer? Thanks.

are you assigning a picture as a wallpaper or acually making a theme out of it.

How are you enabling the picture? You should load it onto your ppc, then open pictures and videos program. Highlight the pic you want and tap, hold on the pic. It will bring a menu up and select set as today background. It will bring up a transparancy control. Take it to 0 % and it will look like it does on your computer. Hope that helps.

It's the transparency setting on the Today screen. Navigate to the wallpaper using file explorer and then click on it to open it with Pictures & Videos. Once you do, go to the menu and select Set as Today Background. From there, it will ask you to choose the Transparency level and if you want it as it should appear, select 0%. Have fun!

Oh wow, you guys are great. Thank you very much for your help.

Maybe one more question. The image I want to use doesn't make for a very good drop down programs (start) menu with any color font selected. Is it possible to make this start menu a solid color?

BTW, I'm doing this all manually, not via theme selection.

Thanks again.

I've had no trouble setting custom pics as wallpapers, but now after I've flashed with the latest kitchen, when I "set as today background" it doesn't bring up the transparency screen at all, it just sets it to the wallpaper by itself. I can't find anywhere else to adjust the transparency, ideas?
