You don't need to delete and re-create the background layer, any layer
can become a 'background' layer (no matter what it is named) by moving
it's position to below the dotted line in the layers menu - drag with
Adjust to move layers.
Any layers set to be in the background (below the line) will be faded by
50% (except any JPEGs of sprites > 8bpp).
Hope that helps.
