This is a simple tip on how to get a good X2/XT signature using screen shots or pics.
Take any screen shot and try 'widescreening' the centre of the image or cropping a small corner for an avatar. Then using a simple art package, put a texture on or simple lettering.
Remember to size the image after to the correct size. Screenies make brilliant siggies used properly. Examples below.
PS which signature do you like? I'm split 4 ways for my new one.

If you have pictures on the hard drive not on the internet can you put it on the sig?

No. it has to be on an active server somewhere.
Otherwise if your computer is offline then no one can acess your computer Hard drive to see your signature.

Number seven is the best IMO
A signature always reveals a man's character -- and sometimes even his name.
