OK, after dusting off my old and very basic photoshop skills, and following the
idea Shiva pointed out, I created a new template for the software box. It has
some minor differences which I think makes it look a little bit better. The
good thing is that now we have the .psd source files and I tried to be as clear
as I could with the labeling the layers.
I committed the new templates and samples here.

Cheers!

grrrr, reading those tutorials make it look so simple, why I didn't
think about using those features in PS before. :-P
Good catch Shiva, thanks for the pointer. I'll work on some .psd and
commit them soon.
Cheers!

Yes Hernan, let's create our own boxes.
Found these useful tutorials upon Google search for "software box":
http://tutorialblog.org/create-a-software-box/
<http://tutorialblog.org/create-a-software-box/>
http://www.designtutorials.info/software-box-design/
Adobe Photoshop is used in both the tutorials.

Shiva,
The .psd you see there are the templates we used as guidelines long
time ago then we overhauled the whole site.
We don't have the source files for the boxed images and I have no
idea what software was used to create them. We rely on asking other
projects to help us with this update. I asked several times what was
the software used but never get a reply.
I don't check all the commits and I was certainly unaware that those
files got finally committed. If we can't get the source nor the
details on how these boxed images got created then we should
consider creating a new set of images. What you guys think?
Cheers!
