Customizing profile images:

If your thinking of customizing your profile with images and you need a bit of help then give us a shout here and hopefully someone may be able to help.

For a demo about what profile images look like then have a quick look at my profile. It’s a silver theme. :D

All good fun.
I got all my images by searching the web. When I came across something I fancied I did a screen capture and saved the page. I then ‘from that page’ picked out the bits I wanted to use and edited them.
Even the large grey background image was taken from accyweb. :D

This bar was taken form accyweb.

The large grey background ‘main background’ is the one behind all the boxes. It is actually an image not a plain colour, although you can use a plain colour if you want.

No, that’s the “Primary Content Area” My main bkg image actually looks like its part of accyweb colour theme.

I’ll tell you what; I’ll attempt to make a screen capture of it and some info.
May take a while.

Nice one. :D

Anyone can do it, have a play around with your profile settings and if ya don’t like what you’ve done then just hit the “Reset Fields” button which is at the bottom of the “Customize Profile” page and it will but everything back to where it were ‘well I think it does, haven’t tried it yet. lol’.

Go to your profile, select customise profile and just type different colours in the little boxes, it’s all I did. Preview it at each stage and save it if yer happy. If ya don’t like, just delete the colour and use another colour. Have a play, it wont harm owt. :)
