Hi JRH,

Yeah, what you do is draw a one pixel line, then apply an outer-bevel to it, offset by 1 or 2 pixels. IIRC you might have to do a combination of those effects to get the boxes quite how you want them.

Glad you like the profile...it took some time to create the gfx...cos I'm a fussy bugger...the hardest gfx were the auto-pilot lights ('on' effect) and the bomb interval and rippler gauges (bloody switch thing and rotating it around the arc).

Hope this helps.

Awesome profile!

How are you making the individual "sections" for your BG images? Like the "Mechanical" box, the "Carrier Ops" box, the "Engines and Fuel" box, etc. I assume it's some kind of emboss technique.

I'm using Photoshop CS, but I'm sure I have the same sort of tool you have in FW.

Thanks!
