Thank you for trying!
On my computer the two images both appear as solid black.
I was hoping to retain the gradient shading of the original images and
just change the colors. From blue and gray to blackish.
The blue_glass.png gradients provide a contoured 3-D curve effect to the
panel. I want a blackish version. Similarly with the default.png gray image.
I think the word I want is gradient. I am no artist and don't know.
The originals are gradients intended to suggest a contour, yes. The ones I
sent you show up as gradients for me, just very dark ones. It's possible
that a differently-adjusted monitor would hide the variation.
Try the attached—is it still dead black for you, or is the gradient visible now?
The lightest colour is still quite a dark grey (#404040), but much lighter than
the ones in the first set.

I would
like to transform the blue_glass.png and default.png panel
background images to blackish.
Here's some quickies, no wizardry more complex than manipulating GIMP's
Curves dialog required. These are pure greyscale and might look better with
a slight bluish tint, but I wasn't going to spend a lot of time if these are Good
Enough.
