Stop wasting your time on creating pre loaders. Instead use this generator. I absolutely love this site. They have all kinds of loader and you change the color and background. Also, this site has nice design as well.
3d Box Generator
Some of the web sites sometime gives out free vectors, photshop brushes and more. They put the images of the brushed on a realistic 3d box. Take a look at Bittbox example. It can be done in Photoshop or a good image editor. But why not use something easy. Just upload 3 images for the box (front,sides and top) in less than a minute you will have a 3d box with any kind format you want to download. Take a look at the box i created just using a random image. Isn’ t that great or what?!!!!!

@Danny: http://desizntech.info/2009/02/10-web-resources-to-make-web-designers-life-easy/ . It is mentioned in another article in here.
I can’t believe you didn’t put on Project Deploy*. That’s an awesome web 2.0 generator I use for generating a web application framework.
Nice post, here is similar -> http://www.noupe.com/tools/40-useful-handy-web-designers-web-services-tools.html
great list..
WOW, what a cool list, there was me trying to learn it all the old fashioned way!
glad you liked it
Well, something has definitely changed. The comments are completely normal now.
Sorry if I misspoke.
No no… thank you for reporting !
I’m using IE 7. I went to another machine, at work, different make/model but still Windows XP, different internet provider, and tried it on IE7 there. The comments look the same….very badly formatted. They’re nearly unreadable.
The comments were fine on Firefox.
Perhaps you are on a Mac, not Windows. Or maybe you are using Vista. I have no idea.
okay, Thanks for getting back. I checked on windows machine and you were right. There were some error in my CSS. It should be fine now. If there is still problem please let me know.
cool post 2.0
For whatever reason, the comments here are extremely difficult to read. Avatars overlap the text, and there is no formatting for the text.
Thanks for the list. Number 17 on your list at the end has a note on his website that he has been out of business since last summer. Looks to me like that one will never be active again. I think I’d remove that one from the list.
Thanks for no 17. I do not know what are you talking about the comments. Just checked it on IE7, Firefox and Safari. The comments looks fine.
If you are using IE6 probably..I am tired fixing IE6 CSS.
Amazing list of tools. Thx!
