Question

On my 360 page, how do I get a pic to stretch to fill my whole background?

Answer 1

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 1064 pixels wide (or slightly more) by 2100 pixels in height. Try to start with the largest image possible and work from there to help with quality. Upload the image as a single  background image and choose to tile it. You'll have to play around with it a bit to get it right (lower resolution, cropping, and 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.

- Open Paint, then open the image file from within Paint.

- Click on the Image Menu and choose "Attributes." - Adjust the pixel width and length. OR use "stretch and skew" and just increase the percentage.

- Go to the File menu and Save As. Choose the JPEG option in the file type dropdown after you click Save As.

- Then, a window gives you options regarding lowering quality. You can test it out and see if it will help with the file size, which has to be under 250 KB.

- Click "Save" and that should be it, unless again your file size is too big. Then, you'd have to try to adjust the quality and dimensions a bit or get a larger image to start with.

Where it says change theme you click on that it will ask do you want to customise theme, press on yes then that takes you to your own photos.
