This text effect creates types in their metallic silver appearance filled with bling-bling diamonds. This style looks best on dark background which makes the small stones look more reflective. You can use this style for your text logo design, web page header design, menu navigation, or use it as a base to add more embellishments later. This style is a modified Script-fu version of the standard Sota Chrome style available in the open source GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). You may freely use this text effect from this page for any purpose or application, personal or commercial.

The rendered text can be placed on either a plain color or another background pattern. With many combinations of font choices, pattern or gradient overlays, this single effect is very flexible to give your design unlimited potential.

What gives the text its three- dimensional depth appearance is the careful placement of the drop shadow. Here you can choose the drop shadow color, size, and distance from its source object to simulate the location of the light source. The larger the drop shadow size, the blurrier its appearance is.
