Personalized signatures
-
From now on you can request your personalized test bench signatures. In general, signatures are composed of two parts: a template image and the data. To give you an idea, the template image of the current signature is this:

The generation of signatures consists of superimposing the data on the template.
Those interested, you just have to send me an image in png format (at the moment there is no support for transparencies) of a maximum of 1024x512 pixels. I will add the watermark bm.hardlimit.com in a corner to the final signature.
For the moment, submissions can be made through this address:

Ideally, to make it clear, two images should be attached: one with the template and another with an indication of where things should go (it is not necessary for the indications to be perfectly aligned), although if it is clear in the image, it is not necessary to specify where each thing goes. An example of the template with indications:
All themes and texts are allowed as long as they comply with the basic rules of the forum. Texts that point to other pages can also appear.
The data collected in each validation are these:
· User
· 80 samples (10 per test: 40 in single-core and 40 in multi-core).
· Result of each of the 8 tests (4 in single-core and 4 in multi-core).
· Total result single and multi-core.
· Processor model
· CPUID
· Measured frequency
· Number of threads executed in multi-core test
· BIOS brand
· BIOS version
· BIOS date
· Computer brand
· Computer model
· Computer revision
· Motherboard brand
· Motherboard model
· Motherboard revision
· Various data about the different caches
· Amount of memory in slot#0...15
· Total memory
· Memory form factor (DIMM, SODIMM...)
· Memory type (DDR3, DDR4...)
· Memory frequency
· Memory bus width
· Windows version
· Validation date
· Single and multi-core ranking.In summary, you have to create an image of the theme you want, choose what data you want to appear and where. The user is mandatory unless you want a private signature. If you want a private signature, you must indicate it in the email. Otherwise, anyone can use the signature with their validations.
To give you an idea of what the theme is about, I have let my talent express itself freely with paint and have made this wonderful work of art:
Although it may seem like a joke, it is a dynamic image where the user, model, scores and RAM depend on the validation from where this signature was taken (not available in the Central).
As you can see, there are three pieces of information that are not recorded by the test bench: the screen, sound and SSD. That text is "custom text". In total there are 3 fields where up to 30 characters can be entered per field. To personalize the signature, you have to use the editor. For that specific validation, it can be personalized from this link.
When personalized signatures start to appear, there will be a link next to each one from which the texts can be entered.
At this point, if you want your signature to have the possibility of including some custom text (up to 3), you must indicate where.
Regarding typography, font color and other things, it is something that I have not tried, but if in your creation you want to modify something of this, it can be looked into. I don't think it is especially complicated.
Sometimes it is complicated to adjust the texts. If in the image you send us it doesn't fit, we will respond to the email with a sample so that you can correct the image.
As always, suggestions, errors, criticisms, etc., are welcome.

Well, to break the ice, I've made this one that's not as personalized, but okay:
More than a signature, it's a result image (for sharing results in forums and such) because as a signature, it doesn't fit.
From now on, it's also possible to include a ranking section with the result's position (like the one in the image).
This results table is available in the central for all validations.
