neunen Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 if you open them in photoshop, then click on the "channels" menu instead of layers, youll see that the images are stored in the alpha channel for icons. so just switch to the alpha channel, edit your icon, then save as a dxt5 again. hope that helps, if you want me to be more specific about parts, let me know cheers,neunen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
