As the title states, I was wondering how I would do that? Because I really want to add a custom ".tga" 'close' button to my windows theme. I am using WindowBlinds:
(link) - Skin the Windows desktop interface with WindowBlinds

WindowBlinds let's me edit and make my own theme by using their own .tga files or you can make/import them yourself to your desire.

This is the Theme I want to extract the files from:
Placebo for Windows 7 by SolMiler on deviantART (Won't work for Windows 8 that's why I am asking here.)

Here's what my buttons look like now:

What I want them to look like: (Angst version of Placebo theme)

Any info would be very appreciated!

You can use Gimp to convert them, I used 2.6.12 Download The Gimp 2.6.12 - FileHippo.com

Open the .png in Gimp.

Click File > Save as
gimp-2.png

Remove png
Save Image.png

Add tga
Save Imagetga.png

Save
Save as TGA.png




I exported the button images from Placebo for you they are in the zip folder below.
