Wow...  Sounds like...  Yessss...  Could it be:  New variable time!!!

(defvar gnus-xmas-neato-xpm-file-or-neato-file-number-two-with-transparent-background "gnus.tr.xpm"
  "Describes the file to load as the pretty picture.
Should be either gnus.tr.xpm or gnus.bg.xpm.")

Well, those people should also set the background color.  You are

background.  However, if the colors are compatible (mine is only
slightly different (greyer) from the background in the image) the
screen looks MUCH better.
