ok... if i have two texture packs, and say i like the window in the first one, but i like everything in the second one except the window, how can i take the window from pack 1 and replace the window in pack 2 while keeping everything else the same in pack 2?
You need a program that can edit images with transparencies. MSPaint that came with most computers won't work, since it can't handle transparencies... and transparency is pretty important for a window texture. :tongue.gif:
The two most popular free programs are Gimp and Paint.net. Gimp can do just about everything Photoshop can do, but honestly it takes a while to figure out how to use it. Recently I've seen several reports that Paint.net is easier to learn and easier to use. Once you pick one of these programs, just look for a tutorial to cut and paste, and you'll be set.
Warning: mixing and matching textures is extremely habit forming; you may not be able to stop without outside intervention.

I can attest to that. Its a bit intimidating at first to fool around with swapping other people's packs and even creating your own textures but once you get a handle on it you'll spend hours perfecting you "perfect pack" :smile.gif:

Zombie pigmen will organize into well-coordinated search and destroy teams with weapons open, and creepers will develop the ability to determine certain eigenvalues of the voxel-based matrix that is the minecraft world.
