A few of my fellow K750i friends have commented that when using caller ID its hard to read the text as its directly ontop of the image.

But after about 50 uploads of different images and ideas I have found the perfect solution! Its a GIF image with some transparent areas to allow for the text to appear ontop of your chosen theme rather than the caller ID pic.

The text is now easier to read for both incoming calls and text, when in a call the time and call duration clearly in view too.

Love my images? Only the K750i shell image is not my work I love how the K750i can multitask!

Great job. You can also use animated gif's or slideshow gif's in caller ID's.

I use a PNG file, with the persons head cut-out of the background, with a graduated tint to transparent at the bottom. Looks better than a GIF because its not limited to 256 colours, and it composites perfectly on whatever theme background you use.

Care to share an example of the gradient effect with a face?
