This is what they used....
CODE
<a id=comet href=# onclick="body.style.backgroundImage='url(URL)'; body.style.backgroundRepeat='repeat'; body.style.backgroundPosition='left top'; return false">TEXT</a> - <a id=blur href=# onclick="body.style.backgroundImage='url(URL)'; body.style.backgroundRepeat='repeat'; body.style.backgroundPosition='center top'; return false">TEXT</a>

It works. You just need working image URLS.... Unless it may be premium-only.... =/ But that shouldn't be the case.

umm... yea, i think its the premium thingy.

but wut i noticed is that the codes fur the 2 images r different...

the beginning part of the first is id=comet href while the second is id=blur href. i noticed they were the names for the skins. how do i change it? i dont want that skin, i want somethin else

Did you bother to look at my preview? It works fine.
And the id doesn't matter.... You simply change the text to whatever.

...... It's no repeat. And you only replace the URL part. If it still doesn't work, you need to prune some of the codes you're using.
CODE
body.style.backgroundRepeat='don't repeat';

It's would be wise to get rid of some of the less important codes you have to maybe aleviate the problem.
