When the user selects an image for the Setting the Wallpaper Transparency wallpaper, the Home screen control panel application sets a default transparency setting to 65% unless an override value is present in the registry. To set the value in the registry, use the following key:

Copy Code 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Watermark
"Transparency"=dword:0000

The allowed Transparencyvalues are 0 to 256. If the Transparencyvalue is present, the Home control panel application uses that value in place of the hard coded value. If the Transparencyvalue is greater than 256, the control panel application uses 256.
