    I wonder if someone can help me with this. I want to edit the unit tabs that you see in battle where the unit info is placed, like fatigue, ammo etc. Specifically, I'd like to edit the background of these tabs into something semi-transparent. What files do I need to edit in order to accomplish this?

    I'm sure you can change the background, can't find the file at the moment. But you cannot make it semi-transpararent. Perhaps you can make use the transparent green together with a real colour to approach semi-transparent, like this:
    * * *
    _* * *
    * * *
    Where * is the transparent colour. This will will only be possible if the background image is a BIF with the first colour as green. Check it in readbif.

    Good luck,
    Duke John

    The uniticons can indeed not be made transparent, it has be a BIF file. But perhaps you can still make the surrounding background transparent.
