hi all , im new here . i really hope someone can help me with this please. im on bebo and have started making skins (backgrounds). what i really want to do is to learn how to make fancy writing for the background ? i have looked at the tutorials and when i have tried to do some of them, some of the buttons i need to use are grayed out , also i cant find the gradient tool . i have upgraded to the latest version of paint.net last week . i hope someone can show me how to do the easy ones first ? by the way i am only 13 . thanks
