Simple "Online" and "Offline" with 3D depth shadows

[The Finman]

I designed these myself for a few of the boards I run, and really didn't think much of them until I started getting requests from other vBulletin owners and Admins asking me if they could use them on their board.

Anyway, I still don't think they are all that big of deal...but considering all the great contibutions I have gotten from vbulletin.org, here is my small contribution.





I can't seem to find my original .PSD (Photoshop) file, but if you need to change the color (or other aspects)...just open your favorite image editor and adjust the hue, size and/or contrast.

In Photoshop I simply used the Type Tool (I think I used Arial), then rasterized the image and used the Bevel Boss and Shadowlab filters from AlienSkin Eye Candy 4000 to create the 3D depth, and then just save them as a gif or png file to preserve the transparency.

Here are free trials of Adobe Photoshop CS2 and AlienSkin's Eye Candy 4000.

Or just PM me and I will happliy create any variation (including animation) since I can't find the original PSD file.
