Screen Saver Bakground Color - Windows 8 General

Not sure if anyone has noticed but when using a screensaver that is suppose to have a transparent background (be able to see what is on the desktop) it defaults to the background color chosen for the start screen theme.
An easy example is the bubbles screensaver that comes preloaded, the weird thing is when selected and you preview it, it previews with a transparent background you are able to see what is on your desktop, but when you let it run its time and it pops up on its own it replaces the background with the color theme you chose for your start screen.
any ideas on how to change it to remain transparent? I've tried changing the background color of the start screen to transparent with Decor8 but the screensaver background still is not transparent.
attached are the images of how it should look and how it actually looks.

never noticed it, but i tried and indeed the background isn't transparent. strange

white today screen backgrounds with custom pictures?

Whenever I try to use a custom picture for my background for my today screen, the image has a "white out" look to it, meaning its a very bright version of my image. How can i use the original image for my background?
When you set your wallpaper, it will ask about transparency.
Set it to 0% and it'll look just like it should!
ok thanks! my problem that i was using settings>>today>> then the "Use this picture as the background"
but is their anyway to change the lettering to white without adjusting the transperency of the background?
You mean the font color on the today screen? Isn't it white by default?
ok nevermind i got it, i forgot i had recently changed my theme too

Changing the tab color?

I have the T-Mobile TP2 and the main color (tap, background and start menu drop) is navy blue. I want to change the color or put a background image that would make those the same image or color. Is their anyway to do this? I change the background color black, but the only thing that changed black is the home screen. The background for programs, bottom tabs and start menu drop is still navy blue. Looks really ugly.
This is probably what you're looking for. If you search for tmobile, there's a bunch of threads dedicated to debranding.

Thanks for the link vardig, I checked it out but I don't like the slider bar.

Change Individual Notification Background

Is there a way to change the background color of individual notifications? What I mean is on the attached picture, the drawer background is set to transparent black but the test notification itself has the grey background to it. Does anyone know of a way to change that? I tried searching but i'm not sure what terms to use for it. I'm willing to mod framework-res, but an Xposed module or something would be nice.
Forgot the picture ;P

Help finding Black Lock Screen Wallpaper

Hi team!
I just got the Essential yesterday and am really enjoying it. One problem I'm having is after applying a theme to my lockscreen notifications using substratum I'm unable to find a matching black lockscreen wallpaper. Everything I try is making it slightly more gray than the notification backgrounds and I really want it to just be black. Applying the same background in the home screen does look like the black I'm looking for - it's just the lockscreen giving me the issue so I don't think another pure black wallpaper will do the trick.
Try this.
It was created with a editor and is as black as you can get.
You will need to zoom to get it to cover the whole screen. Otherwise you get a thin gray bar at the bottom.

Is it possible to change the colour of the home screen folder text?

I know, a question I really should be able to work out. Sorry.
I can see how to change the background of the folder, but not the colour of the font. Problem is, the font is white and I have a white background - makes it hard to see
