SAP SmartForms: SE78 Graphic Appears Grey Instead of Watermark

I’m trying to implement a “DUPLICATE” watermark in a SAP SmartForm based on a condition in my ABAP code.

What I did:

  1. Created a light grey diagonal “DUPLICATE” text in PowerPoint.
  2. Exported it as PNG, opened it in Paint, and saved it as a 24-bit BMP.
  3. Uploaded it to SE78 as GRAPHICS / BMAP / Color Bitmap (BCOL).
  4. Added a full-page secondary window in the SmartForm and inserted the graphic node with this image.

The watermark is displaying, but the Output Scaling option is greyed out, and the bitmap isn’t behaving as expected (positioning/sizing). I can’t find a way to scale it to behave like a proper page watermark.

Is using an SE78 bitmap the correct approach for a SmartForms watermark? Why is Output Scaling disabled for bitmap graphics, and what’s the recommended way to get a proper full-page diagonal watermark?

Help me figure out what’s wrong w my hair

I’m honestly at a loss with my hair and would appreciate any advice.
For my entire life, I had naturally straight, silky hair. I never needed a straightener, never had major frizz issues, and my hair was generally smooth and healthy with minimal effort.
A while ago, I moved to a different city, and since then my hair has completely changed. It’s become extremely frizzy, dry, dull, and feels like it has no life in it. It tangles more easily and just doesn’t look or feel like my hair anymore.
A few months later, I got it colored, which I think made things even worse. Now the frizz and dryness are much more noticeable, and I find myself wanting to straighten it just to make it look presentable—which is something I never had to do before. Honestly, it’s a little heartbreaking because I miss how my hair used to be.
I’m trying to figure out:

  1. Could this be due to hard water or the change in climate/environment after moving?
  2. Is the coloring likely the main culprit?
  3. Can hair recover from this, or is the damage permanent until it grows out?
  4. Have hair masks actually helped anyone in a similar situation?
  5. If so, which masks/treatments/products made the biggest difference?
