ok so im making a theme, and i want to make a dialog background like on a Blackberry Bold. You know, the transparent dialog background? well the thing is i dont know how to do that. im using paint shop pro 8 and i set the opacity and save it as a GIF but it does not show up as transparent on the blackberry theme maker. So how can i make a transparent dialog background to look like the Bolds?

thanks

Within your photo editing software... set the transparency level of your dialog image to about 90%...thats roughly about the same transparency level as the default dialog box on the new BB's (MUST BE A PNG IMAGE) if you're trying to make a transparent dialog box for an older BB such as an older curve or pearl... when the theme is finally exported and loaded the center of the dialog box will stay opaque even though you may have set the whole thing to be trans. hope that helps!
