Userbar tutorial

[Igelkotten]

Hello

My computer crashed under the tutorial so i was using 2 computers


Start off by making a new document, size 350x19, with a white background.




Then, find the logo for the program your making it for, and drag it around the left side of the userbar.





Note: i like to add an outer glow with the following settings





Then, on the background layer, add a vertical gradient with two colors that you think suits the program.





Add some text with a pixel font ( I used Visitor TT2 BRK, size 10, with a 1px and with a black stroke)





make a new layer, take the Elliptical Marquee tool and make a selection like i have below:





Fill it with white and put the opacity to 45%





Make a new layer, go Edit>Stroke and put on the folowing settings:




Congrats you just made an UserBar




Hope you liked it.

I'm sure there is already a scanline tut on this site somewhere.

scan lines aren't that hard...They probably don't need any more tuts.
