I'll trial this one shortly.
You're welcome
I had hoped today to try some subtle gradients and other effects, but time has been short. Maybe a simple thing like giving the box corners a small radius, like the forum banner.
I do these things for my own enjoyment as much as anything else. GIMP is deceptively easy to use, but has a lot of features I rarely use. Exploring software featrues is one of my secret pleasures

Okay, using that banner from here on out, unless someone says otherwise.
On a related note: Adobe sucks! (But the other guys are even suckier!

Rounded corners and a subtle texture added to the background...
