GodWar Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 The Text needs some shadow. And more detail in the background :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socuine Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Alright, look at my example. It's the exact same height, width and color scheme:Did you see what I do? I applied an inner stroke (1px => darker green than canvas-object), and Bevel and Emboss for the Blending options. Used a reflected gradient to lighten up the center part. Applied a white font with a drop shadow of 1px 0px 1px.Mess with the settings. Use lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnPony Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Did this one in like 2 minutes. Trying to keep the same style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Her0 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Close, but no cigar. What program are you using? GLook at what Socuine did, he gradiented the background, so you can see the difference in color , put a black border of 1 pixel around the box (also called a bevel), and then put a drop shadow of 1 pixel on the text.Then look at what you did, It looks like you made the background 1 color, and threw some text on it. Close, but take what Socuine did into consideration, it will make it look that much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnPony Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm not redoing the entire forum's usergroup titles, there are two colors in both. Look closer, i am using Gimp. I'm keeping to the template i started with, therefore i cannot take Socuine's suggestion into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socuine Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 That thing I just made took me less than a minute to produce. Learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the style you choose does look good, its just too light for the forum i am using. I have a reason for the template i am using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
