Ok... next issue that I need a lil help with.. I have CS now.. and I am able to open and edit the orb.dds file and get the effects as you suggested.. (btw.. there was already a "red" orb in the file that I am able to use) However... saving the file and then using the uibuilder to display the new version, my orb now has a white background instead of the normal black.. I have tynkered with trying to reload it and save under different options but cant seem to find the right way to do it.. Can you all steer me in the right direction on this one?

Thanks again guys.. just consider me a newb to alot of this stuff
