Bytessence UserbarGenerator
Bytessence UserbarGenerator is a free, fast and small program that helps you create userbars for use as forum signatures. It was built to simplify the design process so you don't have to use complicated drawing programs and still get your favorite userbars in seconds. It offers many image effects, supports 32bit alpha-blended graphics and offers total control over the userbar creation process. It can also run off an USB memory stick.
Starting with version 2.0, the program has been rewritten from scratch to make it more easy to work with. It can now be extended with custom scanline, highlight and glow effects. In addition, BUG now supports adding an unlimited number of image and text layers.
