How do I make my background a picture or image in myspace?

Posted by Orlick on 4/16/07

To put in an image as your background picture,
copy and paste this:

<style>
body {
background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
</style>

Where the XXXXXX is the location of the image you want to make your background. if you need help figuring out what that is, I have that on one of my other myspace posts.

If you want the picture to repeat on the page, insert this:
<style>
body {
background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
}
</style>

If you want the background image fixed in place when you scroll down, use this:
<style>
body {
background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
background-attachment:fixed;
}
</style>

    MySpace seems to resize large background images, making them tiny and annoying when tiled. How can I force the image size?

    how do you make the background image repeat? i have to code of a layout style i want, but i just don’t want the image that goes with that code. i have the image url i want, but the code isn’t set to repeat the image.

    here’s the code WITHOUT the image URL i want:

    td.text table, td.text td.text{background-color:transparent;}.extendednetwork{display:none;}
    .friendscomments{display:none;}.latestblogentry{display:none;}tr {background:transparent;}.userprofileurl{display:none;}br{line-height:2.5px!important;}
    .nametext{display:none;}.orangetext15{display:none;}.userprofiledetail{display:none;}div table, div td {height:3px;}div table td font {visibility:hidden;}
    div td font {visibility:visible;}table table table table table table a {visibility:hidden;}table table table table table table a img{visibility:visible;}.redbtext{display:none;}a.redlink:active, a.redlink:visited, a.redlink:link {display:none;}table table table table td{width:0px!important; padding:0px!important;}span.lightbluetext8{display:none;}.contacttable{display:none;}.friendspace{display:none;}

    table td table tr td.text table {visibility:hidden;}table td table tr td.text table table, table td table tr td.text table table td.text {visibility:visible;}td.text table {position:relative; top:-25px;}td.text table table {position:static;}

    td td embed, td td object{position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:1px; height:1px;}
    td.text embed {width:260px; height:38px;}
    td.text embed, td.text object {width:260px; height:38px;}

    div table { background-color:414141; }
    .navigationbar { visibility:hidden; }
    td.text table, td.text td.text {background-color:transparent;}
    table.navigationbar td td {background-color:414141; visibility:visible; height:49px; font-family:small fonts!important; font-size:1px!important; color:000000; background-image:url(‘http://cbimg9.com/layouts/08/05/27677aa.png’); }
    .navbar {visibility:visible;}

    a:active,a:visited,a:link,a{
    color:000000;
    font-size:7px;
    margin-top:1px;
    cursor:default;
    font-weight:normal;
    letter-spacing:1px;
    font-family:small fonts;
    text-decoration:none;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    }
    a:hover{
    color:1C8685;
    font-size:7px;
    margin-top:1px;
    cursor:default;
    font-weight:normal;

    font-family:small fonts;
    text-decoration:none;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    background-color:000000;}

    body{background-color:white;
    background-attachment:fixed;
    background-position:bottom left;
    background-repeat:repeat;
    background-image:url(http://i34.tinypic.com/2lvkawp.gif)}

    and here’s the image URL i want to take the place of the other one in the layout code, but i want it repeated:

    http://media.photobucket.com/image/thunder/brasilianxbebe94/cloud.jpg

    • This is suppose to be the code without the url image that you want… what you want to change is background-image.url(usually blah blah.jpg)
      *in this case it was background-image:url(’http://cbimg9.com/layouts/08/05/27677aa.png’)*

      you need to find that in here and put your url in the () space inbetween let me highlight it for you.

      background-repeat:repeat;
      background-image:url(http://i34.tinypic.com/2lvkawp.gif)}

      change both of them one at a time i’m not sure which it it changes but i’m sure the 1st url is the one you want to change if not switch it back to it’s original url and change the 2nd one good luck

      • Oh if you want to make it repeat just add background-repeat:repeat; anywhere in the {} in here preferably at the beginning

        div table { background-color:414141; }
        .navigationbar { visibility:hidden; }
        td.text table, td.text td.text {background-color:transparent;}
        table.navigationbar td td {background-repeat: repeat; background-color:414141; visibility:visible; height:49px; font-family:small fonts!important; font-size:1px!important; color:000000; background-image:url(’http://cbimg9.com/layouts/08/05/27677aa.png’); }
        .navbar {visibility:visible;}

  14. johnd said

    does anyone know how to put a backround picture on myspace that you have on your hard drive.(not a picture that is on an internet site)?

    • marcha said

      i’d also really like to add my own background from my hard drive and NOT an internet site. How do we do that?

    • tyler said

      you would have to use tinypic or photobucket to host it, and then put it on your myspace.

  16. ANDREA said

    ok the code so that your background image repeats is this:

    body {
    background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
    background-repeat:repeat;
    }

    I’m trying to change the Daleri-Single template (by Andreas Viklund) to get a floral image to repeat, but it just isn’t working.

    This is the CSS:
    /* Main containers */
    body {padding:0; margin:0; font:76% verdana,tahoma,sans-serif; background:#1a1a1a url(bodybg.jpg)repeat; color:#444; border-top:4px solid #444; text-align:center; line-height:1.5em;}
    #wrap {width:760px; text-align:center; margin:0 auto;}
    #maincontent {background:#fff; text-align:left; border:4px solid #666; padding:15px 15px 5px 15px; margin:0 0 15px 0;}

    /* HTML Tags */
    a {text-decoration:none; font-weight:700; color:#e49938;}
    a:hover {text-decoration:underline;}
    a img {border:0;}
    h1 {margin:15px auto 10px auto; padding:0; font-size:2.6em; color:#eee; letter-spacing:-2px; line-height:1.2em;}
    h1 a {color:#eee; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none;}
    h1 a:hover {color:#fff; text-decoration:none;}
    h2 {margin:0 0 12px 0; padding:12px 6px 12px 15px; background:#1a1a1a url(bodybg.jpg); border-left:4px solid #e49938; color:#ddd; font-size:1.5em; font-weight:400;}
    h2 a {font-weight:400;}
    h3 {font-size:1.4em; font-weight:400; margin:0 0 10px 0;}
    p {margin:0 0 15px 0;}
    ul {margin:0 0 15px 20px; padding:0;}
    li {margin:0; padding:0 0 0 5px;}

    Does anyone know what I have to change here to get the image to repeat?
    Thanks
    Anu

    • In this section

      body {padding:0; margin:0; font:76% verdana,tahoma,sans-serif; background:#1a1a1a url(bodybg.jpg)repeat; color:#444; border-top:4px solid #444; text-align:center; line-height:1.5em;}
      #wrap {width:760px; text-align:center; margin:0 auto;}
      #maincontent {background:#fff; text-align:left; border:4px solid #666; padding:15px 15px 5px 15px; margin:0 0 15px 0;}

      if you want it to repeat the image *bodybg.jpg* just add background-repeat:repeat; at the beginning of {} so it would look like this

      body {background-repeat:repeat; padding:0; margin:0; font:76% verdana,tahoma,sans-serif; background:#1a1a1a url(bodybg.jpg)repeat; color:#444; border-top:4px solid #444; text-align:center; line-height:1.5em;}
      #wrap {width:760px; text-align:center; margin:0 auto;}
      #maincontent {background:#fff; text-align:left; border:4px solid #666; padding:15px 15px 5px 15px; margin:0 0 15px 0;}

      hope it works for you.

  18. how do you make this your layout without repeating ?!

    • ANDREA said

      body {
      background-image:url(http://XXXXXXXX);
      background-repeat:no-repeat;
      }

      ON THE 3RD LIKE AT THE END WHERE IT SAYS (HTTP://XXX)
      THS X’S IS WHERE YOU PUT THE PICTUER

      AND IT WONT REPEAT BUT ITS GONNA BE IN THE MIDDLE, ?
