Semi-Transparent png

This is kind of random, but does anyone have or can anyone make a semi-transparent black png that I can set as my lockscreen wallpaper for my Droid X running MIUI? With the recent 1.8.12 update, it gave us the ability to see through the lockscreen if the wallpaper is set to transparent. It is really cool but I would love it if it was shaded (using a semi transparent background) so that the text and music controls stand out on the lockscreen.

If someone could help, thanks! Or if someone could give me instructions on how to make such an image, that would also be nice. (I'm not good with photoshop, etc. :erm: )

Awesome! I will test it out and see if it works on my lockscreen. I will let you know how it goes.
Seems to be acting like a solid color, rather than a transparent image. Maybe the image should be added into the theme and the xml used to create the theme. I will ask a themer I know for some help, unless you have anymore ideas? Thank you very much though.
Yea haven't messed with stock lock screen I've always used widgetlocker
Made those 2 the same way I mad my transparent dropdown just changed the size a bit
