As to answering this... PaintShop Pro, Photoshop, The GIMP, Serif PhotoPlus, Paint.Net and many, many other decent photo editing applications can do this perfectly well. You could even use Photogenics, Art Effect or Personal Paint on Amiga A1200 / A4000 or newer with at least a 14Mhz processor and 2Meg of Fast RAM and 1Meg of Chip memory. Not that you probably would, I'm just saying...
Any art program from 1995 onwards should be capable of doing this very easily. Alpha transparency is a standard feature of 2D digital art, and has been for the last 20 - 30 years. Image splicing has been used on the internet for the last 30 - 40 years.
If you can't use an art package, take a tutorial.
The image files you need are StartImage/Opening/GameLogoX.tga where X = 1 to 6. Image matrix is:-
Code:
+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
+---+---+---+
| 4 | 5 |
+---+---+ With image 6 overlaying images 4 and 5 for the login text boxes.
TGA transparency is sometimes interpreted as a separate alpha image, which can be loaded as a mask. Serif PhotoPlus will load it correctly to begin with however, and saves in the same (reverse order, uncompressed) TGA format that official PT releases use.

well i use Photoshop cs2
but everytime i made the image on TAG format ofcoure i put in a Transparent background, but when i save the image the program set the image into a white bacground
so when i open my exe, the imagen apear whit a white background around
Re: help Editing opening image
Yes... because Photoshop and Paintshop Pro require the transparency (mask) saved to a separate "alpha" layer before you save the TGA.
I don't use Photoshop CS2, so I can't screen shot for you. I have PaintShop Pro but I know the process is similar in Photoshop, from other art forums.
3 solutions:-
1) Use Serif PhotoPlus
2) Save in PNG or PSD and convert to TGA. (since it's only PSP, The GIMP and Adobe PS who have messed up import/export filters for TGA)
You can use Serif to open PSD/PNG and save TGA, or you can use XNView or ImageMagick or a PNG2TGA tool like this one in C# for .Net 2.0 at Doom3World.
In PSP the option is "Load Mask from Alpha Channel" and "Save Mask to Alpha Channel", which of course requires you to keep the Alpha transparency as a separate "Mask Layer", or separate just before you save. The names may differ in PS, but the practice is the same.
