  1. BG width = 600


  2. First set of #'s = +60+20
    60 in from the left side.. 20 down from the top


  3. 2nd set #'s = 540+20
    540-width of bar... 20 is the distance from the top..(as in first set)


  4. 3rd set #'s ... are in reference to the ends..
    -23+13.... the lower the number.. the shorter the ends... if you want longer ends... use a higher number.


  5. Stroke width is 10.

Stroke Color Only



Flo's Co-ords: Violet= +60+20 +540+20 -20+13
Indigo= +60+60 +540+60 -60+13

Fill and Stroke Colors



Jean's: #1=teal/#060606; #2=lime/indigo; #3=blue/gray

Doing the Math
  1. Make a 500x50 bg.


  2. First & 2nd sets of numbers: +100+25 +400+25

    3. With this, your bar will start 100 pixels in from both sides.

  3. Third set: -75+13 (fill & stroke colors, and stroke width=10)
    BUT the -75 will cause the solid stroke color to "back up" 75 pixels from 100 to 25; and "go forward" 75 from 400 to 475. The solid ends will now be 75 pixels long each.
See example below.



HINT: to make trumpet shapes on the ends:

  1. Reverse the minus and plus signs in the third set of numbers.


  2. Start with 2nd number of 3rd set at -13


  3. Increase by 2 to increase height of the flare of the trumpet's bell.


  4. Lower the stroke width to 2 or 3 so the fill color shows up.
See examples in the links below.

From Ron (Puzzleman) we have a different form of RR bar:



420x50 background. Settings: +12+17 +404x400 +90+90

Note the X in the 2nd set of numbers.
That seems to be the key to this shape of bar.


Yet more different forms of bars and decorative borders, using Round Rectangle:
