Is there a way to change the 2d graphics quality in DarkBasic pro because the alienWare logo is a little ugly in my project and the dark version is not so dark that the screen?

When you load the image did you specify a texture flag of 1 as this loads the image without any filtering.

LOAD IMAGE Filename, Image Number, Texture Flag

Alienlogo=1 : load image "Graphics\AlienLogo.jpg",Alienlogo,1
      cls rgb(255,255,255)
      sync : paste image AlienLogo,(screen width()-500)/2,(screen Height()-250)/2 : Sync
      Gamma_fade_In(15)
      sleep 6000
      Gamma_fade_Out(15)
      set gamma 255,255,255
      delete image AlienLogo
      cls rgb(0,0,0) : sync
function Gamma_fade_In(FadeSpeed)
   for i=1 to 255
      set gamma i,i,i
      sync
      wait FadeSpeed

Have you loaded the image up in a image editor and checked the black in the image is acutally black.

I have just looked and for some reason they have provided the logo in jpeg format (perhaps they want it to look bad

).

To fix it open the image in a decent paint package.

Select the black with the auto selection tool and fill it with actual black (rgb 0,0,0).

Then save the image in a png format. Load that in dbpro and it will look correct.

If you don't have a paint package capable get gimp from
