You have to create a customized theme in order to change aspects of the background beyond the Yahoo pre-created themes.

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.

Scroll down in the "Customize Theme" popup window, past the upload image part, to get to where you can change colors. In terms of "modules" like the blog box, you will see several fields that you can adjust - the module background, blog comments, and etc. I copy and paste color codes from this site - http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.... . It's just faster that way. Make sure to include the # sign, just in case. You can also type the word - transparent - instead of a color code, so that your background shows through that object. Also, ou 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).

Then, click the "Preview" then "Save" button OR just the "Save" button.

See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/pro... for a breakdown of the different background areas that you can adjust if you customize your theme.

No, modules can't be moved in Yahoo! 360. If you don't put content in a module or hide a module by using permissions, then that changes the layout of the space, but that's about it.

Make sure to check how other people view your page by clicking on the drop down menu "Preview as seen by" at the top right of your 360 "My Page". Choose a permission group and click the "Go" button.
