I made a couple Userbars earlier, this is my first day making them. And I thought they turned out pretty nicely, (they're on my Sig). I was wondering if anyone else uses Userbars, and if so, how do mine look?

Yours,
Zora

I don't use them, thye would mess up the unity within my sig.

Gfx section? Anyway. They're not too bad. But the scan lines should be closer together and your font must be on strong. It should ALWAYS be set on normal for pixel fonts.

They're cool, except I don't like the text that is part-clear, part-fuzzy. Like in the first one, the "fox" in firefox seems dimmed out. And maybe you should add a border around them?

Other than that, they look pretty good.

Photoshop is kind of hard to read, I'd eather border the letters like Shin said or add a bit of space. Otherwise, nice job

They look pretty good but they all follow the same design "small pic on the left and pixel text on the right with scanlines" try making something with different parts and stuff.

I don't use them...though I don't know why not. Too lazy I guess

Still, your's are nice, though a bit basic

Adobe, none=normal.

Well, I added a border. And, I really don't know what else to do on the whole design thing, as I am new to making Userbars, and not that experienced at Photoshop. Any suggestions?

Try a bigger render, more colors in background stuff like that makes it go a long way

Yeah I used that for my userbars its to much work to make one by yourself when you can do it with no effort... also if you do it on the site you can get them to rotate like mine do

Well, I'm looking to add another Image to my Sig, one of about 320 x 110 dimensions. Any tips on how to make it look good? Like how to add certain effects over the original picture. Like your Sig Zanthos.
