I wanted to change a color into a UI so i converted the blp into png, edited them, re-converted into jpg>tga>blp(set alpha channel) again and imported them, but in the gameplay they show a black border which partially "invades" the game visual. What did i do wrong?

P.S. i'm using 1.28.5

I'm not sure what you mean by "set alpha channel", but the alpha channel was lost after this conversion since JPG doesn't support transparency. For future reference, I recommend using BLP Lab for blp>tga>blp conversion and not using any other formats for editing besides TGA.
Well, when i convert bmp>jpg>tga>blp icons, wc3viewer asks me if i want to add opaque(iirc) alpha channel and i always did. I was just pointing that out for information.
