If this is why SOE broke it up into two images, those SOE UI people are dumb. Transparency doesn't get any simpler than an alpha channel. I know I argued this to death in another thread, but being able to define percent-transparency on a per pixel basis is about as easy and precise as it gets.
I'm redoing the graphics and ditching the wasteful glow image if this was the only reason there's 2 images.
