I too am having a little difficulty with the back text on the wallpaper though the readability varies depending on the display mode I have my TV set too (which I change often anyway depending on the room lighting and what I am watching anyway). Not sure if this would help a little but how would I try to lighten the wallpaper a little bit (if even possible). Thanks!
If you wanted to keep the icons and color scheme, but tweak the background a bit, do the following:
1. Download the wallpaper and adjust the opacity down a bit (it's currently about 50% transparent.) Gimp is a great (free) image editing app if you don't already have one.
2. Save your new, lighter background as ../Alaska/media/Backdrops/filter.png
3. Download the hi res vintage icons and replace the default ones in ../Alaska/media/homeicons
4. Run Alaska with the default theme and Rialto colors. It will pick up your new background image and whatever icons you've designated for home 2 (if you choose.)
Hope that helps!
