Use images from wallpaper sites:

See http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2006/12/...  for a directory of wallpaper sites. You can also search for images via keyword searches on Google at http://images.google.com . On the upper left after you begin searching, choose Extra Large images as a filter. Right-click on the image and choose "Save Image As" or something similar to save an image to your hard drive.

FYI: Even with a large image you may need to make adjustments if you really want the image to fill up YOUR screen. It should be at least 1064 pixels wide (or more) by 2100 pixels in height (or more). Upload the image as a single  background image and choose to tile it. You may need to lower resolution, crop, and make other size adjustments get it under 360 specifications by using a photo editor like Microsoft Paint, which is on most Windows computers in the Accessories section, or Photoshop CS3, preferably. You can get it to be one image on the Top Page, but the number of breaks is depended on the length of the content (i.e. in the blog). You don't have to tile the image, but your page background color will be important in that case.

UPDATE:

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."

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.... . 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).

If you are running Windows XP you can download from Microsoft for free a little tool they call a power toy. There are several of them, but the one I love is called the Image Resizer. It sits on your drop down menu when you are uploading to the internet and it is really superior in any ways that count.. It can take a picture that is 500 kbs in size and reduce it down to 150 kbs without changing the size of the picture or losing any clarity.

This is the link to download it.. it is free and very small to put on your computer.. and it is a microsoft product so it is safe for your computer windows to integrate it.
