This problem appears to happen to people with mxipcold_wpc_2.provxml from previous SYS (which people modify to make their own custom themes in their ROM).

If it works, click on my Thanks button so that I can tell whether it works for most people.

This fixes it, but it screws up as soon as you install/change a theme. So far, all designer MS themes I have tried as well as m.carroll themes have all brought back the ugly grey.
