"What, no userbar topic?" Wait, I just made one.

[atlanteay]

yepp! that's BitDustTwo. I got it through a tutorial on glass buttons.

animation:

see the color loss?

[Sylvie]

Heh, thats where I got my BitDustTwo, atlanteay.

And nice, I like that, but yeah I see the color loss.

[Owen Macwere]

Colour and image loss as well. but it is cool anyways.
I don't like these bars much, too small...

[atlanteay]

i'm assuming N-Sane Photoshop Tutorials? wish they make a new picture format that has png quality and supports animation. The GIF can ruin great animations.

exactly owen, the smallness limits the amount of pictures used.

[Owen Macwere]

I think if they contain no images but small animating text, they would look alot better...
Like typing something that flash in big letters but not making the background too busy.
may be like this one:



I am not that creative with these, mind you.

Meh, you just need to make fun of yourself for this ones , I made this userbars since 4 months ago , but my font is just weird :riiight:, I'll download that font later

Actually I believe they are.

edit- From the png frequently asked questions at libpng.org

Q: Why doesn't PNG support animation?

A: The answer is either "it does" or "because it's a bad idea," depending on your perspective.

The animation-supporting version of PNG is called MNG, for Multiple-image Network Graphics. For most practical purposes, MNG is PNG, just with a different filename extension, a slightly different file signature, and the bare minimum of internal changes necessary to support animations (and other forms of multi-image files). It has exactly the same chunk structure as PNG and even shares most of the same chunks; the major difference is the addition of new chunk types to support features such as looping, clipping, and so on.

Anyways, I don't really know much else on it since I don't animate myself, but since you asked about animated PNG there you go.


Anyways I mostly agree that these things are a bit pointless in my mind(at least when you got such a small file size limit for the total sig like on this board). A full sig can tell much more then those can, and full sigs are(imo) funner to make .

OH< Ramza... I laugh at my ones. yours are awesome.. so great, and I think the font is not that bad either. they are so cool.

[Ramza Beoulve]

:riiight: thanks, userbars and render sigs are my speciality :riiight:

EDIT: the luigi one is one of my friend's favorites , I'll post some more later

[Owen Macwere]

So basically they all showd have a glassy look, right?. hmm, seems wierd... I will try them later. and Ramza,.. can't wait to see more...

[Ramza Beoulve]

The first one is a userbar of a Mexican band n.nU, and the other is one I made some while ago n.nU

[Owen Macwere]

Yeah, I think these are your spicaility, you are just so great at making them, I never knew about this.

[Sylvie]

Yes, they should usually all have a glassy look to them. And good job Ramza.

[Ramza Beoulve]

Thanks everyone n.nU, Maybe I should make a thread just for this userbars...
