 		I'm planning to use something like those bars soon. But first needs touching up; make it wider and make the button look less speckly.

@Coders That's nice, I might steal your code!

 		Thanks, I've also added a selection of different coloured ones above. If you like them, feel free to steal one!

You can also use 'colorize' option in Gimp to get them in your own colour.

You can also use 'colorize' option in Gimp to get them in your own colour.


You can also use Colour Balance or Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. I'm pretty sure you can do that in GIMP too.
