I've been working on new poll bar imagery for our forums, and I'm going to release some of the sets I've completed if you want to change your poll bar images.
How To:
1) Download and UnZIP
2) Enter your FTP > Forum > Images > Polls
3) Transfer Unzipped folder of images to Polls folder and hit overwrite all
Flat Pastel
This poll bar set up honestly is a good vBulletin substitute. It has pretty normal colors and not a ton of graphic effects on it. The bars are clean, and are probably showing a very slight gradient. This was made with a tutorial I found somewhere and then was cut, so reproduction is very difficult and only hue/saturation adjustments or color layer covers are possible in PS.
This is the third release of the poll images, I hope you find what you wanted for a poll bar display for your forum.
I have enclosed 10 images in this set. Dependant upon how many bar colors you use, please choose the images you'd like and simply renumber them for your FTP folder. The colors used are in this order:
1. Green
2. Red
3. Black
4. Teal
5. Orange
6. Pink
7. Blue
8. Yellow
9. Purple
10. White
I think they create an awesome look, but once again I prefer the larger array rather than the smaller.
No Live Demo's

FAQ
Will you add options to this? No
Will you stroke them or add a border for me? No
Why are they 20px in height? Because if I release them at 10px and you opt to enlarge your poll bars similar to I did, vBulletin's expansion will cause lines to appear in certain images. Yet if you use a smaller px in height, such as the normal 10px that is set up in your templates, the images collapse properly with no damage or inconsistency that I noticed.
What if I made my polls a different size in height? Again, the images work on normal templates using 10px height, there should be no problem here. If you opt to make your poll bar gif image height something odd like 13px or larger than 20px, you might need to look at your images and make sure there is no problems with it.
I want to resize your image, can I? Yes, if you really feel the need to. But I highly recommend either using the standard 10px in height or 20px to give your polls more of a visual appearance. The 20px amount will not stretch the table.
How do I make my polls taller on the forums? Go to Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Search In Templates > search for " pollresult " > Choose the pollresult option, NOT pollresults table and NOT pollresults > In the coding there are 3 spots that say 10px, you need to change all 3 to whatever height you want. In my attachments and my board I am using 20px.
How do I make my polls go farther to the right like yours? That requires a PHP coding change, I'd just wait until vBulletin repairs it and releases it for 3.7 or something else. If they don't and if you want to know right now, then ask me. Remember you change your PHP files at your OWN risk.
How did you get 10 different poll options to show? This requires a PHP coding change as well, and it really isn't necessary for everyone. 5 options is probably good, and normal forums come with 6, if you want to know I could tell you, but again you changing those documents is at your OWN risk.
Looks good, but I'd like to rearrange there order, how do I do that? Simple, you need to renumber them and don't change the file name. So if you want bar3-l to be in the number 2 location, rename it bar2-l. L means left side, R means right side, and just the bar3 for example means the middle section that naturally expands on the poll display.
