Today it is hardly possible to imagine internet communication without the usage of userbars – special graphic pictures used in forum signatures to display your emotions, feelings, likes or dislikes, features of character and so on. By the way, as for userbars which reveal personal dislikes…They are rarely used by the users, but the point is that many web sites and communities forbid their application. But our speech is about userbar notion and appliance in general. So let us start. Userbar is the image characterized by 350×19 pix size and two main elements: signature and picture denoting this or that individual preference or interest. The majority of userbars have signatures in English. Nevertheless, it is not a problem to find userbars in that language a person speaks. Except common userbars which reveal feelings and emotions (they have such words as, for instance, fan, member, lover) there are some exotic among them. They can be celebrity userbars or some other. By the way, today Michael Jackson userbars are in great need. People who loved King of pop music search for any information about him and try to get everything which is connected with his name. So the userbars with Michael Jackson photo are in that list too. But let us continue our speech about userbars and their usage. The picture used in userbar serves as a background or illustration of the signature.

So the proper picture is the guarantee of your userbar success among other users. In case the image takes only a part of the userbar other free space is filled with a gradient or any color you like. There are lots of userbar categories, for example, sports userbars and internet userbars for your signature. These two categories depict you as a person who is in love with sport games and players or internet member and user. The majority of internet userbars have the inscriptions connected with logotypes and web sites designs. There are also such categories as brand userbars and games userbars for you.

First of them include trade marks. As for second ones they depict you as a person who cannot live without internet or computer games. Games userbars may incorporate game logotypes or screenshots. For instance, Counter Strike player or Warcraft gamer. In case you are fond of music choose music userbars or regional userbars if you want to discover where you live to other users. And one more widespread userbar category is anime userbars which are used by anime or manga lovers. There are also lots of other categories, but they are of lesser importance and often are rarely used to speak about.

You may create your own userbar owing to special programs. During the making of userbar you are not limited with certain rules. Everything depends here upon your imagination and taste. The more original and unexpected your userbar is, the better it is. High quality and witty created picture is for sure your advantage. To produce a classic userbar you should remember some requirements. First of all, the speech is about a traditional size which is 350×19. Then your userbar should obtain 1 pix frame around the image. To create a userbar use either Visitor TT1 and Visitor TT2 or microN55 font. By the way, the option called anti-alias should be switched off. Background hatching should go under 45°. To make 3d userbar include white half transparent ellipse or rectangular blink in the upper part of the image. The format of your userbar should be either GIF or PNG. Today it is not a problem to find lots of ready made free userbars on the net. The majority of web portals suggest getting of userbars absolutely for free.
