The Gimp: Shiny/Chrome Effect(Help)
Hey.
I was about to start making a wallpaper when I realized I didn't know how to make shiny/chrom lines etc...This is a key factor to my wallpaper, and i'd really appreciate it if someone helped me out.
If you don't know how to do that, you could also help by telling me how to cause a reflection/glow (so it looks like it's reflecting what's new it).
Thank!

Don't forget to give me or , feedback is helpful.
