First, you need to make a new picture.



Next, you need to decide what color you want, I will do a green color. Fill the entire layer with the color you want.
It should look like this:


Now right click the layer and click Blending Options. Check Gradient Overlay and make whatever color you chose( I chose Green) to white. Change the opacity around to get what you like. Your settings should look similar to this:


Now, we must add the diagonal lines seen in all the Userbars. To do this, create a new picture, dimensions 6x6 pixels and transparent. Next, use the pencil tool on that picture to create a diagonal line. It should look like this:


When you draw that, go to Edit -> Define Pattern and choose the pattern name. Now go back to the first picture and the Pattern Stamp Tool in order to put lines into you picture. Since the lines are too bold, I would advise you to lower the opacity. After doing that, you get something like this:


Now it's time to add the logo to the picture. The logo must have transparent background. This is what my Userbar looks like now:


Now we add text, most people use a font called Visitor. That's what I'm going to use too. If you want to download Visitor font, you can here.
You add text using the text tool. When you get done it should look something like this:

As you can see, I added a 1px stroke around the font, you can achieve this by going to Blending Options, then check Stroke, and set it to 1px.

Finally, just add a 1px border around the entire image. To create a border around the entire picture, open the Select menu and choose Select All. Then go to Edit -> Stroke, add a 1px Center Stroke. You will need to lower the opacity a bit. You should have something similar to this:


Good Luck!
