Custom Spell Bar broken with recent Test Server Patch
I like to use a custom spell bar that shows the spell icon and the spell name with the different color spell type backgrounds. After the recent Test server patch none of the spell icons are showing in the spell bar. I tried multiple different spell bars and they were all broken now in this way. If you know of one that is working or if you can update one, thanks for the help.

"The transparency layer in window_pieces02.tga for the spell gem holder was modified, custom UIs may need to adjust for this change.
This goes along with a change to the layer order for spell-gems where previously the colored gem-holder was rendered behind the spell image. Now the gem holder with its center set to transparent is rendered on top of the buff image to ensure a consistent outline."
Managed to get mine working again. Had to go and edit areas of the .tga's to be transparent instead of just being black. Quite the PITA.

How did you get it working? I am totally stumped! I've tried what was suggested in the EQ forums,. I've tried a few other things,. but nothing is working!

You have to modify the Alpha Channel to make the space where the Spell Gem sits to be transparent.

Spellicon is rendered
instead of:
<Holder>
under:
<Background>
<Highlight>
holder is the image it shows when you have no spell memmed.
background is that square around it.
and highlight is the mouse over highlight of that square.
so for holder we can just put any blank button graphic.
but background and highlight will now need to be custom made to fit, with proper transparency.
