Hi Jim, Use Filters/Colors/Color To Alpha
Select the background color. This will convert all the background to alpha, and leave the dithered foreground. Then use any of the color changing tools (see Colors/* and Filters/Colors/*) to modify your value. Finally, create a new layer behind the text with the background color. Happy Gimping!
