I then zoomed in on the graphic 2 x and carefully selected the glow tube, made a copy, pasted the copy as a new selection and moved the copy next to the other glow tube. When I placed the bar on the page, I made the width 550. This stretches the bar, but does not distort the image. The header text on this page was created from a horizontal tube I created and colored the same as the side bar tube. A glow tube will allow you to make great looking decorations for your page.
Flood fill the first layer with black.
On the second layer, create a horizontal glow tube. On this layer, place a dingbat font, floating unchecked. Save as a gif or jpg.
