Userbar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- "Userbox" redirects here. For the Wikipedia term, see Wikipedia:Userboxes.
Userbars are small rectangular images that are designed to be put in an Internet forum signature block. Userbars may be animated if the artist wishes. They are often used to show the user's interests, hobbies, or graphical skills. Userbar standards are often strictly defined and enforced by communities to ensure that they all have a neat appearance when animated or when stacked vertically. Although there is some variation, most are not wider than 350 pixels and not higher than 19 pixels so they can fit in with other userbars.

- 19 pixels height
- Transparent, diagonal stripes (45°)
- The font 'Visitor TT1 (BRK)'. Not bold, no anti-aliasing
- Encoded in the PNG file format for good quality or GIF for animation
