Background Editing

I've been pulling apart the backgrounds, I've separated each image into individual categories (ie: 256x256 24bit tga, 512x512 24bit tga and so forth.) I've switched them around with other image placings to make some interesting new backgrounds. But I can only switch the images with other original images. I can't change the attributes or positions of the images, and I can't use my own, they show up as rather crappy quality and non trans-parent.

The quick question: Is it possible to edit the system background's image attributes and add your own this way?

To make them transparent you need to use the alpha channels I believe but since I'm not a graphics artist you should ask someone who is. To change the actual layout of the background you need to alter the mesh data in the cmp files and I'm not sure of the process to accomplish that.
