Background Image Washed Out...
I know I've seen this discussed before, but for the life of me I couldn't find it...

Anyway, I put a jpg on my today screen background, but it's very washed out for some reason... Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks!

-Corey

Found it! Instead of setting it to the background via the today screen properties, open it in pimg and select menu\set as today background... and it will give you a transparency option!

That's pretty much what I said hehe..

The only problem with this is for some reason one a soft reset it always reverts back to one of the other selections.. kind of odd...

My problem is when I go from portrait mode to landscape mode it goes into washout mode. In portrait mode it is fine, but landscape is not. Any idea's?

Sorry, I'm not having that problem, so not sure what would cause it...

The only problem I'm having with it is the fact that on a soft reset it reverts back to my old one, lol
