Background Wallpaper Problem

Hi all,
I have HTC p3300
and I have installed Artemis Touch 3.01 Everything works great.
The only problem I have is when I go and try to change the Wallpaper to my jpg images that i have on my SD.
The images become 50 white like there would be a white layer on top of them with 50% opacity Is this normal? is there a setting somewhere that makes the images look normal when they become walpapers?
Please help.
Thanks.

open the file explorer, and navigate to the directory where the picture is, and hold n click on the picture for the menu and click set as background picture or whatever is correct option.
it'll show the picture and an opacity meter, set to 0

when i hold the picture it gives me the option to set it as todays background, and than when i choose it, the options dissapear without any opacity options. and than the background is set to that image.

Just use the Pictures & Videos app to select the pic.

Windows Mobile 6.1 background image really light

When i go to set a custom background image under my today settings, why does the image show up alot lighter than what it actually is?

That's because Windows Mobile sets the transparency of the image to high by default. Instead, try finding the image on File Explorer, viewing it then going to Menu and Set as Today Background... From here, you can manually choose the transparency level. 0% transparency means the picture's colours are fully visible.

Today background colour

Hi.
I don't think this is an easy one, but I'll ask anyway.
When you use "Pictures & Videos" to select an image to use as your Today background, you are given the option of "Transparency Level". I just wondered if there's a way to select what colour is 'behind' the image when you do this. At the moment, it's white (or close enough), so the image gets lighter with more transparency. I would like it black, so that the image gets darker with more transparency. Realistically, you should be able to assign any colour, so you can almost colourize an image by altering its transparency.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.

It is not a " white colored " background. It is a " lack of color " background, no image.
You cannot overlap two today background images.

I don't want to "overlap" two today background images. If you read the question, you'll see that I've explained the background colour is white, which it is.
Set the background image to 100% transparent and you'll see white. A background with a "lack of colour" would actually be black (see transparency, 0 value colour etc. for both windows & web development.)
Something, somewhere, defines that white is used as the background colour (it may actually be an overlay for the image, with inverse transparency, as opposed to a transparent image over a solid colour.) This may be a registry entry, but it's just as likely hard-coded into the OS. Either way, that is my question.
Thanks for trying to help.

Icon issues (.png)

I can't figure this one out. How come when I try and open the blue arrow file on my phone using gallery i see it fine but when I try and open the mail icon file the screen is black and i get nothing? Also, I can use the blue icon in Bettercut as a shortcut icon but it wont allow me to use the mail icon. They're both .png files.

Screen is all black in the preview as well, i'd definitely say its how the image was saved, also i just noticed it was 512 x 512 that seems a little large for a system icon, although im new with android and could be wrong. The system might downscale as needed

I think it's because of the transparent background in the mail icon. When I replace it with white the image opens fine.

GWD: change background

Hello
I need a little help here, i want to change the background on one of my watch watchface, i make the background as button and set to change image, but no matter where you press you change the image, can you make so that only a small part of the screen, fx a small circle on left side. and only then you press that the hole background change.
Hope you understand..

Try this:
Have or create a png image that is blank (no image or colors, if you understand what I am trying to describe). In GWD select Background then choose the blank png file. Resize and reposition the background then select Set as button. Select Change image and assign a new image or face.
I am fairly certain this will achieve your goal.

But attention: the image, to which you change, always has the same size and position of the first image.

Noted. I should have clarified that the new blank background to be added simply serves to function as an invisible "change face" button. I think this is what the op is trying to do.

i will have a go at it
