For anyone who has difficulty designing userbars, I've made a template which you can use as a start in your userbar career. It has all you need: background, scanlines, shine arc (ellipse) and text. You just need to add the image and you're done.

The .zip includes:
- userbar.psd (which has the real userbar template);
- 9 different scanlines;
- Visitor font (copy & paste to C:\Windows\Fonts).

I think he wants to upload it somewhere so that others can download his template

actually i think he means where to put the scanline pattern files :s

not sure but i think here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\<Photoshop>\Presets\Patterns

replace <Photoshop> with ur version of photoshop.

also, you can upload your .zip, .psd, or whatever to www.filefront.com, you need to register, then go to yor "My Page" section on the left hand menu, and then up the top of the screen click "Upload File". Then just give whoever you want the link it provides you with so they can download it.

I think I get it now... Save the userbar template file (userbar.psd) on your hard disk wherever you like and open it. The scanlines are in the template, you don't need to put them anywhere, just open the template and you'll see.

I have a question: On the site, when I made my animated userbar it should give me a forum code ao something that I would copy and paste in to my signature. I cant really find that. So whats up with that? Great site by the wayy!

matur tengkyu = thank's

How big should the font size be?

If you use:
- Visitor BRK the size should be 9pt
- Visitor TT1 the size should be 10pt
- Visitor TT2 the size should be 13pt

Do I have to open the template each time I want to make a userbar or is there a way I can make the scanlines and elipse as a pattern?
