You can either use the backgrounds created by Yahoo, which you can't adjust in any way OR you can create a custom theme. If you want to use the pre-made background, click on the "My Page" link next to your "Home" link. Then, at the top under that line of links is the word "Theme: [name of whatever theme you currently have]." Click the "Change Theme" link that's directly under those words. Select one and click the "Apply Theme" button. If you want to customize your theme, see below: If you've NEVER WORKED with your custom theme before: After logging into 360, click on the "My Page" link next to your "Home" link. Then, at the top under that line of links is the word "Theme: [name of whatever theme you currently have]." Click the "Change Theme" link that's directly under those words. On the new page that comes up, there's a paragraph stating "Select a Theme - Change the look of your Yahoo! 360° page by picking a theme. Click "Apply Theme" to make the change." Directly under that click a link called "Customize Your Theme." A new "Customize Your Theme" window will pop up where you can insert .jpg images as well as customize colors. If you HAVE WORKED with the custom theme window before: Click the "Edit Custom Theme" link toward the top left of your "My Page." If you want an image to fill the entire 360 space, it should be at least 1024 pixels wide by 2300 pixels in height. Upload the image as a single background image and choose to tile it. If you want many breaks, then use a smaller image or reduce the size of the one that you have in a photo editor. You'll have to play around with it a bit to get to be the right dimensions (for your screen) and specification (making it a lower resolution, cropping, and other size adjustments) by using a photo editor like Microsoft Paint, which is on most Windows computers in the Accessories section. As far as colors go, scroll down in the popup window, past the upload image part, to get to where you can change colors. I copy and paste color codes from this site - http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html . It's just faster that way. You can also type the word - transparent - instead of a color code, so that your background shows through. OR you can just click on the little box next to the right of the item, move the color scroll bar up and down, then click around in the color square with your mouse (or click the transparent option). Here is a directory of wallpaper/background sites: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2006/12/07/selected-wallpapers-for-desktop-and-web-design/ . You can also search for images via keyword searches on Google at http://images.google.com . Right-click on the image and choose "Save Image As" or something similar to save an image to your hard drive. You may want to TRY joining these groups, as they may provide some good tips as well: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/360-Custom-Themes/ http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/makingyour360moreinteresting/ http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Y-360-Friends/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/360pimpyourpage/ Another site: http://360themes.com REMEMBER: Your background picture must be JPEG formatted (.jpg, .jpeg, or .jpe as the extension) and under 250KB in file size. TIP: If you are browsing public 360 pages and you see a theme that you like, click on "Make This Theme Mine" link to overwrite your theme with that one (located just above the counter on the Top Page - left side). This excludes pictures the person may have uploaded (i.e. customized images in the background - although you can get those images in a different way). Good luck! Enjoy!
