Default [Patch] Add background scrim to messaging app.

Just like the title says, this will add a scrim to the messaging app. You can send the scrim file to the wallpapers folder on the Pre's usb drive.

EDIT: I changed the patch a lil.

1. Now the scrim image will be stored in the wallpapers folder on the usb drive.

2. The scrim image has to be named app spacific (ex. messaging-scrim, contacts-scrim....

3. The image still has to be a 320x480 png image.

4. ALL MY THEMES WILL HAVE THE SCRIM IMAGES & PATCHES BUILT IN SOON.

Thats all nothing else.

Shouldn't its a patch that changes a css file, themes mostly change png files. The new theme builder supports patching through themeing, but I don't know how to use it yet....

Are you uploading that to the Black Texture theme? I'm kind of interested in applying that to my theme for personal use.
