So just to be clear, what height/width/opacity?

780px X 25px. The width is oversized to fill in the space if the forum were to ever get bigger, so place all the stuff you want to be able to read/look at on the right side of the bar, since they align right.

Opacity needs to be lower than you probably think you can see it for the icon on the nameplate. And it needs to be white or shades of grey (mostly white), unless you're trying to do something like the bloody nameplate or the Swage nameplate, where the content is spread out across the entire bar.

But for standard stuff, like most of the nameplates, it's 0% opacity for the majority of the bar and 30% to 50% for the icon, which should be shaded white/grey to blend in with the color of your user bar.

But it is Gorillaz font! Is the purple okay?

The two don't seem to fit together and the color combination is strange. If the purple were colorless, I would probably be alright with it.

?

I'm liking this. The gears icon needs to be bigger while the font size needs to come down to about 85% of its current size. I realized the icon edges will be cut off, but it'll look much better that way than it would so small like that.
