Today wallpaper being lighten up

[preview]

Hi guys,

When I put a picture as the today's wallpaper, the picture is lighter than normal.
Is there anyway to fix it and get the real picture colors ?

Thx

yep, use eg. resco picture viewer or resize your pictures to 240x320 and 320x240, rename them to tdywater_240_320.gif and tdywater_320_240.gif and copy/ overwrite in \windows. soft reset and you are done!

ps. it is needed to have it saved as a .gif!

Or just keep it simple!
Open the picture in the default "pictures & videos", and choose "Set as Today Background". Then it will ask you how much white you wanna have.

If you set the image under settings/today, thats what you will get. For some reason it uses a transparency value (nowhere to change this here).

The best and easiest solution I have found, is to open the Camera, and view the Album. Browse to the image you want, click it and keep it pressed so that the context menu comes up, select "Set as Today Background...". This will show you the image, and allow you to set the transparency level. Set it to zero, and the image in the Today Background will look exactly as it should.

Works with the Album->Set Picture as Background

Thx guys !
