Retro

all we need now is some rounded edges and british mini fonts. Ahh the internet of yester-year.

In a program like Paint.Net, there's an option to make a line like that, but it's in Dashes.2009-08-14 01:19:00

I've seen a fair amount of signatures that utilize the scanline technique, and still look fantastic. They are more common in userbars, but that doesn't mean it's their only use.

That's a good example, as is your signature.

I'd say it is, it does have the subtle diagonal line pattern commonly associated with the scanline technique.

It has to be transparent though.

It is, he use to overlay the layer onto the whole thing making it invisible, but feels like it's there.
Kinda like a ghost.

yeah he also used way thicker lines, which the 4x4 gif would not work for. You would need like an 8 by 8, with a solid 2 pixel line down the middle, and then one pixel in each corner for that effect... and then when you lay it over the image you do it as it's own new layer, and raise the opaqueness or transparency depending on what your program calls it - and then of course while I'm typing it Yarbone shows up and posts...

How did you do the lines on moley's sig?
