Just thought maybe you could shed a little insight on what the transparent fix does that would effect the alignment and centering of a normal slider set. Thanks!

First, 2.1 or 2.5?
Second, and let me see if I can explain this without confusion. Get all the original manila files for the slider icons. If you are gathering those by what the image looks like, you have to ensure you get the right ones. There are 3 images for each icon that look identical,
but 2 of them are slightly bigger than the other one. Make sense? If you have a clean version of manila and look at all the images you will find, for example, 3 images of say the 'messages' that look identical. 2 of them are slightly larger than the other one. The actual image for the slider is the samller one. Now use the smaller one as your template to ensure your new image is exactly positioned left/right/up/down. I also found out that they look better if you make your new images about 8-10 pixels smaller than the original. Hint: Once you have the original slider image file, autocrop it to see exactly how big it is.
Mode9 fix for re-centering just re-maps the image by way of coordinates. 2.1 was a PITA because I could not lock down the mapping 100%. No matter what I tried, the image was jumping all over the place. That is why the image appears lower than original, hence why I say make your new image about 8-10 pixels smaller.
Attached you will find a zip with 3 images. Named respectedly, look at them and you will see what I am referring to. The images are the email images. Since you are using GIMP, open up the 'email_original' then 'open as layers' the other 2 and you will see the positioning and size differences. If you need more info or help, hollar at me.
