Help recoloring images.....
 

Hello! I am currently trying to recolor some of the UI skins I am using and I am feeling like a moron. lol I think I am missing something because I am unable to figure out how to change the color of say, a skinned toolbar, without loosing the image that the author used for the toolbar. Everything I've tried ends up with me overwriting the image with a solid block color, which is horrendously ugly. lol I'm using paint.net and I was thinking that there might be some sort of plugin I needed in order to do this, but I just spent the last two hours on their forums with no success. :(

So, please forgive the newbness of my question but any help with this would be greatly appreciated!! :) Thanks a lot!

doesn't sound familiar .. in the past Paint.net had some problems handling TGA files. Have you tried Gimp ? I'd suggest to try it and see if the same thing happens with it

Well, I downloaded GIMP and it seems like that might work out for me. A lot of different things I can do with that program. :)

Thanks a lot Daimon! :)
