... How might i get effects like these

1. The first is where all of the users information is how would you be able to put that gradient there? That would be a great help to me.

2. How did they get the images to balance out with al the info of the profile and the +buddy buttons. I guess my question would be how do you get the images and the imae background to even out??

I don't think there was a mod for the author column gradient.

Go into your CP - Postbit Template. Find this:

<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="$post[backcolor]" width="175" valign="top" nowrap>
<a name="post$post[postid]"></a>
$post[firstnewinsert]
<normalfont><b>$post[username]</b></normalfont><br>
<smallfont>$post[usertitle]</smallfont><br>
$post[avatar]<p>
<smallfont>Registered: $post[joindate]<br>
Location: $post[field2]<br>
Posts: $post[posts]</smallfont></td>

Now see where the <td> line is? This is it:

<td bgcolor="$post[backcolor]" width="175" valign="top" nowrap>

Change the $post[backcolor] to the url of the gradient. This will add the background to the author column but the post part of the postbit will still alternate unless changed.

You need to be a little more patient. If nobody has replied it means they don't know. Not always that they missed it.
