Bordering on insanity!

K now i tried borders and could get the 3px and 4px borders down real nice but now i wanna know how port (and a few others) have that borders in their sig different from a normal border.


K here you see that i got the 4 px border and only white in between the black borders. This i do using the stroke option.


Here i see that port's got a 3 px border BUT in between the two black borders i see the original sig content. (dont tell me the borders are manually drawn )
This sig content inside the borders is of a diffferent color from the actual sig content color. How is that effect made?
Also, i tried with stroke but i cant get the middle border as transparent.

Would really appreciate some help. Thanks...

i made a post about this and pstationpV2 helped me out...
