Preferred Forum System So many choices...its overwhelming
Snake1405241559 replied to FirefoxRocks's topic in Software
MyBB for the win. I think it's the most powerful forum system that's free. It's sort of a combination of vBulletin and IPB. https://mybb.com/ -
Hello, I will tell you how to create a nice userbar in the open-source software called GIMP. You should GIMP 2.4.6 installed on computer, and if you don't, go to The GIMP Website. Make sure to view a few beginner tutorials to have a basic understanding of GIMP. This is what the finished userbar will look like: It is very simple, and I learned it easy. I will guide you through all the steps of making a userbar. ~ Now we will go through all the steps. 1. Open GIMP and click New(Ctrl + N) and make the size for your new image 350 by 19. Your screen should look like this: You can make your screen full windowed if you want. 2. Go to the tools list and click on the gradient tool. Set your foreground color and background color. As my foreground color, I will chose a dark green and a lighter green. Once you have your colors are picked, make sure the gradient tool is set on the setting 'FG to BG (RGB)' 3. Once you have set your settings, with the gradient tool hold your right clicker on your mouse and drag the line straight to the other side. It should look somewhat like this: Now release your right clicker on your mouse, and your colors should be in a gradient. This is what my gradient looks like: 4. Once your gradient is set, add a new layer and name it something like "Scanlines" It doesn't really matter. Add Scalines to your image and go the layers window and sell the Opacity to something like 30 or whatever fits your userbar. If you don't know how to add scanlines, Click Here. The Scanlines on my userbar look like this: 5. Ok, your scanlines are set, now what? Make a new layer and name it. I'll call it "toplight" Select the Eclipse Select Tool. Now, make a circle for the light source at the top of your userbar by holding your mouse right clicker. Try to get it good, and not covering too much of your userbar. When it's good, stop holding your mouse's right clicker and it should outline the area you selected. Mine looks like this: Now fill in the selection with white. Then set the layer opacity to 20 or whatever fits your image. Then go to Select -> None My image looks like this, yours should look similar. : 6. Now, we will add the text. Select the Visitor font. If you don't have it download and install it on your computer and save your image as a GIMP xcf. Restart GIMP and it will be in the font list. It can be downloaded here. Now, select the font tool and set the font to Visitor and the font size to about 10. You may use a different text color. Click where you want to add your text and type it in and click close. My image now looks like this on the background layer: 7. If you want an image in your sigbar, read this step. If you don't, you can skip this step. Anyway... Go to File -> Open and open your image. It will appear in a new window. Now select what you want in the image with the Free Select Tool. Then copy the part of the image and paste it into your sigbar in a new layer. You can move your image around and put it where you want it to be. My signature bar now looks like this with the image on the background layer: 8. Now... The Final Step... The border part. Save your image as myfirstsigbar.png (I recommend png) and select 'Flatten Image' and save. Then zoom in 800% and select the pencil tool with the color you want as the border. (It's Usually Black.) Select 'Circle(01)' Then start pixeling your border. Hold shift for a straight line. 9. YOU ARE DONE! Yay! This wonderful tutorial was made by Snake.

Possibility Of A Google Os ?
Snake1405241559 replied to jwcgator's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Yeah, that's true. But if it had tons of tons and features, and it was free, Google would be making no money. But if it was not free, Google would be making money and probably would use that money to expand the OS. -

Using Blogger To Add Content Can I get rid of the header?
Snake1405241559 replied to frameworker's topic in Search Engines
I don't think you can copy Blogger's custom code and remove the top banner. I think it's custom made software, and you probably have to host it on The Blogger Website to use that custom made blog software. You may be able to, but I think you would have to contact the Blogger staff. If you want no top banner or anything, Try Wordpress. ~ Snake -

Possibility Of A Google Os ?
Snake1405241559 replied to jwcgator's topic in Websites and Web Designing
A google OS would be cool.Although features are good, I'd expect google to come up with a lot of them. :)My vote is: Mabey, it depends on the price.(maybe) The features are important, but I don't want to buy anything that's like, $2000!I could buy it if it was cheap. :PGoogle could make one, possibly. -
Starting Programming Where to begin?
Snake1405241559 replied to MOOSE1405241519's topic in Programming
Ok, I think you should go with C++. It may not be as easy as qBasic or Python, but it is one of the most powerful languages. C++ used for all sorts of programs, and has a lot of freedom. With Python you won't learn anything that will help you in other languages. I tried Python, and there is no } and { So I moved on to C++ and it isn't that hard! Easy if you take time on it and get the hang of it. If you want to start programming C++, Here's a link to a great IDE.(compiler and editor.) Dev-C++ is a really good IDE I use. (Doesn't work with Vista, I believe.) If you have Vista or anything under Windows 95, then Try Visual Basic. Or if you have a Mac, you should have something called 'Xcode' on your computer. That's my advice! -

The PS3 doesn't only improve older games!Here are some good games on the PS3:Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, GTA IV, and many other cool games... And most of the games that come out on the PS3 usually get put on the Xbox 360 after.@Darasen: I have to agree with you, the Wii is fun.But I have to disagree with you on the PS3 one. (explained ^)And yes, PS2 FTW!

C and C++.C and C++ are the most powerful languages.C makes most operating systems, and C++ makes most elegant programs.C++ is better than C in my opinion, but they both rule.I started programming C++ and it's actually more easier then it sounds.It just needs some practice. C With Classes For The Win!!!

I like the Playstation 3 the best.I haven't played the PS3, but I think it's better for the following reasons:The Xbox 360 is really all First-Person-Shooters and action games.The Xbox 360 has the best graphics, but graphics aren't as important as gameplay.And ever hear of the Red Ring of Death?The Wii is very unique and is the only console that gives you exercise. I like the Wii, and have played it, and it is very fun.But the Wii has a lot of "Kiddish" games and not enough action.Nintendo also overdid it with the exercising thing. When can I enjoy a cool bloody war game?^ Xbox 360 has TOO MUCH of those.The PS3 has great gameplay as the reviews say.PS3 has a lot of racing games, and maybe a few First-person shooters.Good graphics, too.And the PS3 has a blu-ray player the plays blu-ray.And a Blu-Ray player is more expensive then the console itself!Really matters on your taste in video games, though.

I love the Ratchet and Clank series!I think it's the best video game collection. :)I have: Ratchet and Clank Ratchet and Clank Going Commando Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal Ratchet: Deadlocked (UK= Ratchet: Gladiator)My favorite game out of all those is Ratchet: Deadlocked, because it is fun to play online. :PToo bad I don't have a PS3, Because I want the new Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction And my Ratchet: Deadlocked online username is XxWolfxX.Yay R&C!
