AHH ok -
I use PSP8. So I magic wand select the background and make THAT the alpha channel. Make the changes I want to the elements, like borders and buttons and such, apply alpha over my modified Win peices 1 and it should work? I THINK that is what you are saying.
Now, when I save to alpha, what is the best setting to save it on? I'm putting it on any non zero value. Not sure if that is right.
Well, giving it a go in any event
God Bless,
mik
