Hello and welcome to the 360.. To make your own custom theme with your own background is really easy to do :o)

There are two rules that you must remember about background pictures you use on Yahoo. They have to be the jpg file type and they can't be over 250kbs in size.

Okay here we go step by step.

1. Look for the option that says Change Theme..

2. Click the option and when you get to the theme page look at the top of the page for the option USE Custom Theme, and click it.

3. This will take you back to your editing page.. ( your MY PAGE) and a popup will appear on the page.

4. There are slot there to browse your computer to find a jpg file type, not over 250kbs in size image for your back ground.

5. The first one is set to tile your image as a multiup of it on the background by repeating the image over and over.

6. The next two are for putting an image at the top, center,and bottom of your background. I never use this option because it just never works like I want it to, I always use the tiling option.

7. After you have chosen the background image scroll down in the popup and you will find a slide color picker to choose the module color, font style and color, border color .. etc. or in the color slide box that appears when you click onto the square you will find the option Transparent .. putting a check in this box will make you modules transparent with no color.

8. After you have made all your selections click the preview or save button at the bottom of the popup and it will save your selections and post your new background.

9. After you have successfully done this once.. the option you will then find on your page to change your theme will be Edit Custom Theme and it will not take you to the Yahoo premade theme page again.

The size restrictions are really annoying at times but there is no helping that one at all!

This is a link to a group you should join on Yahoo. They have loads of background images and tutorials about the whole thing and the owners of the group are really nice folks who will even take your request and make a background just for you!  Have fun new friend!
