But wat i want to do it take a picture and in some parts i want it lower and in other parts i want it higher. I also want to be able to see the game thru the lower parts like i see in some of the different ui mods ppl have made. there image is 1024 x 85 but the image is not the whole size and yo ucan see the game thru the image in the lower parts so how the hell do you do that i ahve been trying for 3 days now and can't figure it out i have adobe photoshop can you do that with it. If not then wat program so i use.

Hi Busser,

In Photoshop, you need to add an alpha channel to your image. Then, the areas you want to hide are black, and the areas you want to see are white.

i have been looking on the net for hours now. but i can't find anything out how to make it so i can draw my own stuff select my own design. not a square or circle patern. i know hwo to do it with a circle or square but i need a way to do it so i can draw my own outline of it that is good.

this might not have made sence does to me tho

Try looking through the information in this thread. There are links to some good (albeit old) posts on EQInterface from when I was first learning how to make UI graphics. If I can figure it out, anyone can. ;)

Cairenn,

Thanx you very much for the info
