Here's a short - Help Me instruction - I did this already on my bars :

1) For my reference make sure you have the Tool bar showing:
Go to View - Toolbars - Check Tool bar and close

2) Open the target file of choice - (Verts changed Bars window)

3) Go up to Tool Bar and click on Wand - Move the wand over the window_pieces01.tga file from Vert and left click mouse - You will notice bunch of dotted lines around everything - Go up to Selections - Invert - You will notice that the larger dotted line that was around entire image is gone and only the inside dotted lines show still

4)Go to Selections - Save to Alpha Channel - The Save to Alpha Channel Window then click and highlight Alpha Channel 1 - Then OK - Yes

THIS WAS TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ALPHA CHANNEL - Which basically means the image you have or select from now on is TRUE or doesnt include some boxy or such background along with it - JUST THE IMAGE ITSELF

5) Right click on window_pieces01.tga window - The lines disappear - Go to Tool bar and select the dotted line rectangle - Go back to image and click and hold mouse and drag over the area you want such as bars - when done release button and Edit - Copy

6) Open up the other window_pieces01.tga file you want to put new bars in - Click on image to verify this is one you want - Edit - Paste - As Transparent Selection and move the Vert bars over the existing and when they line up stop and right click

Voila now if you want the line just in between with small indents out just take the dotted rectangle box a select and Edit - Cut

==============================================

This information can be used to change the Item background box to right of bars and down - The Spell Icon Box is down - Cursor also.

If you dont select alpha channel (Transparency) like described for .tga files in EQ you end up with boxes and odd looking stuff.
