MOD REQUEST: transparent text window background

on subsim download page for sh3 there is a transparent dials officer mod by "sale999" that made the black background of the text window dials and slideouts transparent. the only problem with that is the slideouts had a look as unexposed picture due to no background color and it was very hard to see the guages.

in sh4 the text window is by itself and seems to have its own background image that is not shared by the slideouts. this should make the mod work great for sh4.

i wanted to ask someone to make this background transparent so only the text is visible but i don't have the skill to do it myself.

in sh3 the files were in the data/menu/gui/layout folder and somehow he used photoshop to make the black backgrounds transparent.

i think they are in sh4 in the data/munu/data/dds.uri folder but i'm not sure.

i have a easy to use dds converter i found here:

but i don't know how to do anything with photos or make transparent images.

will someone please think about doing this mod when they have the time to try it?
