Black Default 6.1 Background request ?

[blackjack2]

Hello guys, I've never seen a black default background for 6.1, can someone crank this out, I'm currently using the default green one which is cool but I loose a lot of contrast on the top icons, I'm hoping that with a default black background the contrast is more apparent and thus making the top icon bar usable again. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

not around my comp right now but why not take the green one, convert to grey scale, and adjust levels?

You took the words out of my mouth, convert to black and white then alter the contrast.
Do you know what the default green background is called? Then i can get on to it.

Yeah, I wish I knew where that file is located, can this be done on Windows Paint, I'm kind of a huge rookie but I guess I can try if I can locate the file but hold on, I recall having a blue Sliding Panel background, let me go find that

[blackjack2]

Then i can get on to it. here is the file in blue

If someone can Photoshop this to a cool looking metallic grey or some similar color that would render the MRU icons with some contrast enough to differentiate among them it would be great

Looks good to me...

If you ever need an actual editor (not ms paint) here's a few ideas for you to play around (all freeware or gnu) Gimp is the most powerful http://www.gimp.org/, paint.net http://getpaint.net or something that is similar in interface to pshop is artweaver http://www.artweaver.de/index.php?en_version.

Sent you PM, finding it hard to get the gloss, i'm trained in photography and tend to use the printing process to get gloss, have been playing about with softness of the image, am going to pass this on to someone more knowledgeable than me in the area of editing lol, i'm using Corel Pro X2, if anyone can beat me to this do it, i'm sure we must have photo editing peeps on here? I think it is done via layers from what i can find?
Hope peeps dont mind just attached a couple of my images.

Nice one taken with a Fuji s5700 not as good as the old Nikon f501 f401 slr but the time came that digi is so much cheaper.
I see you take photos to as you mention depth of field and aperture.
The tinted pink is in the picture take not after process, sepia on a very nice day. :)
Will keep you posted.
