   What was the graphic design program that everyone used to make these websites cool pictures, headers, button, etc. in the 2000s? I know it was a very specific program. I'm talking about the thing where they make the pics looks glossy, possibly rounded with diagonal blacks lines and all. This look was the best

     @meso yeah, Google for the past year or two literally cannot find shit, it's all CEO hell
     
     Tried finding old school web material lately, remember those awesome sites with pages upon pages of free gifs, web buttons and the likes that used to exists in the 2000s? Don't even know if these exists anymore because it's all SEO hell with garbage sites that wants you to pay for everything

     @coolboymew @meso You can put "88x31" in your search engine of choice and find old button repositories. I don't know about places with weird Geocities gifs, but I'm sure they're out there.
     
     There's always heavensgate.com if you want a nostalgia trip, too. :applewhite:

     @mrsaturday @meso it's less wanting existing button, but more how to actually make them so I can replicate the style of the 2000s

     @coolboymew @meso I'm guessing it all has to be hand-drawn and put in the VGA color palette, which would be kind of rough to do. Probably easier now than then thanks to vectors instead of just going pixel by pixel, but still.
