A Question About Menu Graphics Modding

Hi, I'm trying to change some of the icons in the game. However, whenever I change certain icons in the corresponding texture file the shape of the previous icon impinges on the new one I inserted. Another thing I realised, when I delete an icon from a texture file the detail of the icon will disappear but a black silhouette will remain in its place. This is proving to be really anoying as I can't find where the information for these icon outline shapes is hidden.

Does anyone have a clue what is causing these black icon outlines and how to get rid of them?

Thanks for any help with this!

Sounds like a channel issue. The alpha channel is what determines what pixels gets shown and what doesn't, so make sure you have an image editor capable of editting that.
