Welcome, I have had many people ask me how I always have my titlebox invisible, well I decided I'd show them all at once.

Difficulty?
3/10 for placing titlebox properly

Needed
Photoshop, photoscape, any photo editing software.
5 minutes of time
eyes

Photoscape link
Click here for photoscape (Only the registered members can see the link.)


Step one: Print screen

Print screen or screenshot your login form.

Step two: cropping

crop a small box around the login, enough so you can overlap it to your original image properly.

Step three: Editing begins

Paste the cropped box and titlebox over your background image, and fit it perfectly, this is why you want to get a bit of the background with the titlebox, or else you have no clue where it goes.

Step four: Area selection

the easiest way to get only the titlebox is to now mark it with other objects, i use yellow boxes to surround my area.

Step five: removing the old titlebox

the reason we don't use paint is, we want to be able to grab the titlebox image after we place it and work wiht other objects, paint wont allow that. click on your titlebox and delete it, this will leave the background spot behind it to show.

Step six: cropping the new titlebox

use your crop tool to carefully select your new titlebox, crop it, and continue to the final step.

Step seven: finishing touches

now you may add any finishing touches and remove the markers, save and load it through Tom's Cache suit or your local Sprites folder.

Common Mistake: Misplacement

Many people don't fit the image over the background properly, which results in white spots, be sure to it it exactly where it is, take a good amount of the original background to help you place it, here is the mistake I did purposely to show.

Er not toms, rather some other cache editor. Just find the Cache folder, and edit the titlebox.dat file and replace with another image. (: Epic.
