i have done this

i plyed with the text

its still not good, but i think its better

much better. and good as well. i like it. maybe set the font a little smaller and then lower the opac to make it stand out a little less.

maybe take the drop shadow, gradient, and stuff off too.

lol, thats everything but the bevel

AH, dont do that. taker it all off and juss lower opac to maybe 70-80-ish lol

with your drop shadow bud, do

dist -2
spread -0
size -2

thats about what i do if i do anythign to the text. it helps it stick out a little when you want it to without making it obvious.
