New Top Border Web Page Background: Green Jewels

Top border backgrounds are pretty popular nowadays, if I can judge from the number of visitors here searching for them. I'll continue to make and offer them in a variety of patterns and colors as the demand dictates. Today, I'm offering two, similar top border backgrounds - Green Jewels - made with an emerald bead tube and Virtual Painter in Paint Shop Pro 7.

The beads line the bottom of the green, textured top border. One background graphic has a large bead and a tiny bead, giving the graphic a bit of presence. The other background graphic has a small bead and a tiny bead, a much more subdued yet still elegant look. The choice is yours. Both graphics are shown on sample pages from which you can download the graphic, and the instructions are right on the page.

You can find the thumbnail images on page four of the top edge or border backgrounds page. Each thumbnail image will open a new window with the sample pages. Have fun choosing!

Top Border Backgrounds: Reversed Gradients

Earlier this year I released a group of top border backgrounds with gradient colors. Reversing the graphic so that it starts out with a white or near-white background then slowly transitions to the color is something I've been thinking about doing for awhile. So here it is now.

I hope that for some of my visitors wishing to use a gradient background for their web pages, this selection fits better than what was offered previously.

You can find the reversed gradients on the fourth top border backgrounds page.

Cats On A Fence: New Top Border Background!

Latest top border background graphic features sleek black cats scampering across the top of a fence. Added spookiness is the yellow glow emanating from the cats. Just right for your Halloween page or other pages of your web site.

This latest linkware is available to all users, subject to the Terms of Use. Download instructions are on the sample page which is password-protected. The thumbnail sample above doesn't do the background justice, so head out to the fourth page of the top border backgrounds to view the full page sample from the link there.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

New Top Border (Sort Of) Backgrounds!

Thought I'd get the snowflake background graphic out of the way to remind us that we are in spring now. And now for something completely different. Here are the gradients!

These backgrounds are way lighter in color than the names suggest, and they really aren't strict top borders per se. But they are gradients nonetheless. All of them -- black, blue, green, orange, red and wine -- are 50x3000 pixels. So there's lots of room for lengthy content per page. If you want, you can use different colors for different subjects on your web site or blog. These backgrounds make great backdrops for other graphics you'd want to put on your page, such as photos.

Since all of these colors blend into white, do not use white as your text color. Black works fine for all, even the black gradient background which really looks more gray than black.

Anyway, go to the third top border backgrounds page for the thumbnail samples and link to the full download pages. All open up to new windows. Be sure to use the provided username and password.
