wondering how to make a skin picture not copy Options

[jz1134]

well i already have all the pictures for the skins and everything all i need now is to learn how to make it so it doesnt copy because ive been told that on another skin i made it wasnt big enough (even tho it looked big enough on my screen and im sure the people werent lying) but to prevent this problem i want to learn how to center something with html and make it stay there and only there once instead of making another one like a tile effect the picture i want is http://oniryu.free.fr/art/fanart/naruto_sharingan.jpg as u can c its not big enough and well i sort of dont want it big enough so if u understand wat im saying than thank you

add it in the claf where its says add background and put it onthe center tab things

well im not sure if that works because generally the skin overrides the regular claf stuff is there a way to do it with html cuz i could just insert that into the custom header and than it would work for every1 im not inserting the picture into the regular xanga background thing


(this is wat i have right now)

fixed link^^

well im not sure if u c the same thing but all i can c that coppies over is a little part of itachis cape and the space between him and the cape which is barely even noticeable this will change i just want to perfect the background b4 i add anything

First, you might want to take the '/private/home.aspx' out and put your xanga name for the link
Second, go to your look and feel and choose center for both alignments and choose 'no repeat'

hehe i new that was there well wat do u c cuz most screens r bigger than mine does it repeat anything?

[Caustic]

Yes, it does repeat. I use 1024*768 so it just repeats the left side of the background picture. If you got the picture of a website for a wallpaper, see if they have a 1024*768 version of it and make sure its centered and no repeat.

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
<style>
body {
background-image: url(IMAGE);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
}
</style>
<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

try that if you wanted it in the code otherwise you can do it in claf.

change "left top" to wherever you want it at. change "left" to "right" or "center" and "top" to "middle" or "bottom".

edit: can you PLEASE get rid of the code that closes the window?!? try just a regular right click code that won't close the window but won't let you right click. it's so annoying because everytime i close the window in my tabs it terminates netscape. not cool.

i didnt even no i had a code for right click i no i didnt insert that in there sorry i no that they dont have a bigger version which is why i wanted to figure out how to make it not repeat cuz on my xanga i also made and in the xanga showcase people said that it repeated ty for the code


omg omg ty so much ty! it did exactly wat i wanted thank you! now i just need to find a way to make the sides look natural
