Making an Image Your Background (or Making Your Background a Solid Color)

To make your profile transparent so you can see the background of your profile, first go to “Edit Profile.” Then find the “About Me” section and add the following code to the end of any text in the text box:

Code: <style> <p>table, tr, td { background-color:transparent; border:none; border-width:0;} </p><p>body { </p><p>background-color:000000; </p><p>background-image:url(‘add the url for the image here’); </p><p>background-position: center; </p><p>background-attachment: fixed; </p> </a></style><div style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;margin-top:10px;width:80px;height:60px"><embed src=" http://apps.rockyou.com/helpspaceAd3.swf" wmode="transparent" quality="high" width="80" height="60" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage=" http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/><a href="http://www.rockyou.com/events/track.php?event=helpspace-button-click&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockyou.com/helpspace" target="_blank"><img src=" http://apps.rockyou.com/images/spacer.gif " width="80" height="60" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;border:0px;background-color:transparent"/></a></div>

If you don’t want an image for your background, remove “background-image:url (‘add the url for the image here’); background-position: center; background-attachment: fixed; </a>” from the above code. When this part of the code is removed, the entire background will be set to whatever HTML color code you replace 000000 with. If you want a full screen image for your background, use an image that is at least 1024 x 768 in size.

Hit “Save All Changes” and then view your profile. This is an example of what your profile will look like after adding this code (with background image):

Things to keep in mind when changing your background:

*Make sure that your text is a color complementary to the major color of the background. Many users change their background to a dark color without changing the text to a lighter color, and then visitors cannot read the text on the user's profile. Be weary of file size. If you don't know what file size means, do some research. It is a very, very bad decision to use an image that is larger than 300 kB. If you do, some visitors to your site may never see the picture because it takes so long to load.
