This is a good Tut but if you still want one but have no time to do one then ask me here or at my own how to make a user bar

Yeah, alot of people know how to do this now.

thaks

This tut is ok!
When I do make them I have my own way, also quicker.

It would look better if you highlighted the top part with the circler selector tool (I'm not sure what's it called lol) and you made it lighter by adding white, so it looks 3D.

HEY MAN, thanks for tut , it really helped me out since I have problems with making userbars.

Thats where i go.

So I take it that userbars can be added as a new crave!? I like making and adding new things... and I can so see my daughters having fun with wanting userbars on their sites. Well, I will just have to start making them now along with the other stuff I am doing for websites and such.

I do use Photoshop almost daily, and I have been doing otherwise. I think this could be a fun project to start working on...
