Anyone know how I can use this

I tried going in and copying and pasting over what parts I want, but i get weird black squares around my pointer and hud etc..

I love the colored icons, but I do not want to use the asuka hud. So how would i get these into my game without using her hud?

Did you save in the right format? Make sure the areas around the pointers and the other elements are transparent.

It shouldn't look "black" in the background. Don't convert it to jpg.

Is how it should look. It's a transparent background. You need a DDS editor. Get GIMP and the DDS plugin.

Another choice is Paint.NET.
http://www.getpaint.net/

It is a light weight GIMP. Loads much faster, but with less features. It is a lot easier to use if you're just doing minor .dds file edits.

Don't convert it to jpg.

Yup - jpg has no concept of a transparent pixel.
