Alpha'ed Multiboard

I alpha'ed out a couple of the multiboard skins and it seemed to work fine except for these weird lines.
UI\Widgets\EscMenu\Human\editbox-border.blp
UI\Widgets\EscMenu\Human\editbox-background.blp
Those are the skins I made into pure alpha channels but it came out looking like this. What are those lines and how do I get rid of them? I've seen multi's without backgrounds and borders. Anyone know how that's done?

By the way, this is only a test map. I know I could use a leaderboard in this case.

Nice. Would love to have a text-only multi on my map :)
So to do this i basically alpha out multiboard images, linked in Interface?

Yeah, that's all I did. I just can't figure how I got those lines. Give it a try. It doesn't take long to make some alpha skins. I think I'll give it another shot as well. Maybe I messed up the skin somehow. I'm using freakin photoshop and it doesn't like alphas sometimes.

Yeah, I have a semi-large multboard on the map I'm working on and I thought it would be cool if you could see throught it. That way people will leave it open more.

[edit] Nevermind, I did it. I just had trouble with photoshop. I don't know why. I used to use that program for skinning all the time.

alpha skins for multiboard
Just import these 2 files into the Import Manager in the WE
In Game Interface under Advanced Options you change the fields for:
Image - Multiboard Background
Image - Multiboard Border
Change those to your imported skins
