Nicely done Jeffrey.

Pshh, yeah right. I wish I could be compared to Ash. :? But thanks for the compliment! That is simply stunning Oma (as usual). Its so purdy ...

@Salu: Love the sig. Looks like a nature-y matrix portal thingy. I've been making some sigs/userbars for a game website's forum:

Yes, this is the way I usually do it, and without a calculator too! :o It is pretty effective (although BoltBait's method is quite ingenious as well)

Looks great! But the curved line is a little ... wobbly. :o

A thread title like "Ladeda" will probably get this thread locked, but it would probably have been locked anyways, seeing how the issue has already been resolved. Try for a more specific thread title next time.

First of all, welcome to the forums. Make sure to take a look at the rules, especially Rule 1.2. A simple search would have turned out what you were looking for. How to make Animated .GIFs in Paint.NET Hope this helps.

Did you put everything on separate layers?

That looks great! But try to refrain from double posting in the future. :wink:

Wow. As usual, Stephan's work is absolutely astounding! It's really good, I like how it is simple and effective, and small too! @d.a: lol.

It is actually very simple. If you want something to "come out of your sig," make the area behind it transparent, like this:

Phew... Stayed up kinda late last night working on it, but now its finished, and it was definitely worth it. My entry is in as of ... NOW!

My inspiration was to make something smooth, sleek, easy on the eyes, and most of all, less cluttered. The original Wikipedia was too jumbled up for me. I also wanted it to be customizable (when logged in of course), so you could move around the Featured Article and all those other things in the main section to your tastes. So without further ado, I present to you, Wikipedia: Silversleek Stock images used: WikiNews Logo Knut Featured Picture Everything else I either made myself or was a font.

No problem! If you have any more problems, don't hestitate to ask for help.

I'm finishing up my design, which is somewhat similar to Stephan's*, from what I've seen. But, I swear, I thought of my design myself. :? *Which I am awaiting with great anticipation

The font in the tutorial is called Visitor, and can be found at DaFont. Any solid color will work. Really? I never knew that. :? Well, you must be right, because you're Ash, and you're always right.

First of all, welcome to the forums! Now, for the transparency gradient, you click on the gradient icon. Next, you go to the tool option bar at the top, you will see which type of gradient you want, and then a little icon beside it, that should look like :AllColorChannels: . This sets your gradient to a color gradient (from your primary color to your secondary color, or vice versa). Click on this icon, and it will change to something like :AlphaChannel: . As long as your primary color is any solid non-white color, and your secondary color is white, you can make things fade away to transparency. Don't worry, when I first started PDN, I had no idea this feature existed. I hope this helped.

Well, the red bar's reflection on top doesn't look the same. Also, the diagonal lines on yours are'nt as dark as they should be. Other than that, looking good!

Nice work, but some of the edges need some AA. Also, for the screenshots, they're thumbnails, so if you click on them, it will open a larger image.

That looks awesome salu! The only objection I have is the choice of font. Great job!

Using the magic wand at 0 tolerance, select outside the area of the object you want to be glossy. Invert the selection, and then add a new layer. On the new layer, using the ellipse tool with " :ShapeInterior: Draw filled shape", make a curved white area on top of your object. Then, tone the transparency of the layer down a little. Hope this helps.

Hmm ... Silk/Satin/Velvet theatre curtains? What do you think? New sig/avi combo btw.

Cool Wither! It looks kinda disco-retro to me. That looks nice! I'm glad my tutorial helped you.

Stephan = Pro It looks really professional, especially that mock-up (except that theres no links, so it might be one huge picture for all I know :evil: ). Looking forward to your finished product!

Well, I finally finished my submission ... To everybody who entered so far, they all look fabulous. Out of all of them, I think I would vote for Crimson's. Keep up the good work guys!
