well uhm as a former login modder. all i can say is your gonna need your knowledge and know how to work either photoshop or gimp. Photoshop recommended because you can set the layers stacked and control the x/y coordinates.
But for a simple login and reduce disk space. This is what i do... Open the original loginbg.tga in photoshop create a new layer. set the background to opacity of about 48%. On the new layer select your pen tool and trace the login box (or if your making it transparent take note of the locations of the items.
paste a background image you made from scratch or my favorite (instead of google images) get em from deviantar*****m its free and is Gfx Resource Heaven. Once you have your final production you know what to do when the time comes /yea
sorry for the buttload of info. Hope you followed xD
