I'm coming from a curve ....on the style is there anyway to make the tinted areas at the top and bottom of the homepage go away? It blocks out the complete wallpaper pic I have.
That is just how the BB OS6 home screen is setup. You can lower it be showing no icons on the screen. From the home screen, go to Menu>Options>Number of Icon Rows. Set it to "No Icons" to show your full background image.
