UserBar Generator – create your own cool userbars in a snap !

If you’re tired of searching userbars that match your profile and never finding the right ones or you don’t have time anymore to handle Photoshop, either if you are professional or newbie this great freeware tool with a nice independent Mac theme helps you a bunch ! You can add your custom text to your userbar and position it wherever you want it. Also you can choose two background colors (use them horizontally or vertically) to fit your userbar theme.

The effects tab has two options: pattern and glass types. Of course you can choose the desired opacity for each of them. There are a few patterns from which to choose:

• 4X4 LR diagonal
• 4X4 RL diagonal
• 3X3 LR diagonal
• 3X3 RL diagonal
• Diagonal cross
• Dots pattern

If you’re wondering what 4X4 and LR/RL means, its simple. 4X4 means that the width of the lines is bigger than 3X3 which of course is smaller and LR means that the lines are orientated from left to right.

Also we have some glass effects at our discretion:

• Wave bottom
• Wave top
• Wave left
• Wave right
• Ellipse bottom
• Ellipse top

I’m not going to explain these because their name sais it all.

The bottom line is that you can combine patterns with effects to your delight. Also you can choose to have a colored border around your userbar and a neat glow effect.

Another great option is to add an overlay image of which you can choose it’s opacity, position and you can even stretch the desired image until you get a custom shape.

When it comes to saving you have two options. The first one is to save the current userbar as a project (this is most than useful if you want to add a little more touch later or if you are making more than one userbar and all you need to change are a few settings); this is much like the Photoshop psd file. The second save option outputs your userbar to a png image which then you can use as you please.

Please don’t forget that this customization options are just a few clicks away and you don’t need to use Photoshop or other picture editing programs.

The single disadvantage this program has is that it cannot generate an animated userbars. That’s not a problem because you can use this form that lets you animate your userbars. It permits you to choose from five transition effects: fade, scroll up, scroll left, door and squish. You can also select the preffered amount of time for each userabar to show. You can fetch your userbars from the web or from your local computer.
