Dark Main Menu

I recently replaced my tf2 main menu background with a custom image. It works perfectly when I am first loading up the game; however, as soon as i get to the actual main menu the image gets significantly darker and kinda ugly imo. Is this a console command issue? I tried mat_monitor_gamma, didn't help. Should I edit the image to make it brighter in photoshop and then repackage the vtf?
This is obviously not a huge issue at all but I'm a little bit of a perfectionist in some ways and I also like to tinker with my hud so I'd like for this to work.

Might be an overlay from your hud. I know ya_hud has one. Check your main menu files and see if there are any really large imagepanels.

I'm having problems changing my background with rayshud, anybody tried this before? And if so, how did you do it?

So yahud already makes it so the main menu only uses one background (the upward one). That's the crucial part. After you have that done, it's easy. I simply replaced background_upward.vtf and background_upward_widescreen.vtf (in materials/console) with my custom file.

Well I've got the picture working but I'm now having the same issue with a dark main menu. I can't find the section of mainmenuoverride in rayshud that corresponds to that part of yahud.

things like console make the background darker, and when you close them, the screen gets back to normal

maybe its that notification thing if editing the hud files doesnt work
