Can I make any layout in my yahoo? and how?

I am going to make a 360...can we use a different theme or layout or does it have to be one that yahoo has?

• I have no idea what i'm doing

• Answer:

  You can make a module hidden by not putting anything in it or making it's permission "Just Me (Private)". That's the only way to change the layout of the page. 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 paragragh 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 pictures or files 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." As far as colors go, 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. I used an image from http://www.mandolux.com for part of my wallpaper. He specializes in photography. Then, I searched on - images.google.com - to add some elements to the mandolux background with a photo editor like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop. Try to get a 1024 x 768 picture to minimize tiling if you choose that option. I used the same background for the top and bottom image and ended up with one break in the page. If you want many breaks, then use a smaller image or reduce the size of the one that you have in a photo editor. Here is a directory of wallpaper/background sites: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2006/12/07/selected-wallpapers-for-desktop-and-web-design/ You may want to try joining these two 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/ REMEMBER: Your background picture must be JPEG formatted (.jpg, .jpeg, or .jpe as the extension) and under 250KB in file size. Good luck! Enjoy!
