This tutorial will tell you the basics on how to make a userbar. :lol:

Step 1: Take a screenshot of the picture you want in your userbar.

Step 2: Crop the picture down to the area of the picture you want in your userbar and save it. The final crop must have a width of 350 pixels and a height of 19 pixels.

Step 3: Open GIMP(GIMP can be downloaded here).

Step 4: Start a new project in the GIMP and make sure the image size in the new project is the same as the userbar.

Step 5: Drag the picture into the GIMP window.

Step 6: In the top bar go to Tools > Text.

Step 7: Write your text of the userbar and carefully place your text in the desired spot.

Step 8: Save your project. Just click the X to get the save option up. Save your file as a GIF image.

Step 9: Upload your userbar to www.userbars.org to share your userbar or you can just upload to FSW to put on your signature.


That's it. I hope this has helped you in making userbars. :angry:
