You'll need to set it as your background with a transparent avatar over it...or it can be resized for the shorter avatar setting

here's the transparent background to use for the avatar


And here are Ipsiss' instructions on how to do it

I think I'll try to widen it a little?

I sized the pic correctly to fit as a background.

If you make it wider you will lose part of the right side of the pic.

Jerry, I figured out what the prob was with those backgrounds before - I had confused the dimensions between avatar and bg. :-/ Here are actual bg-sized versions if you still want them:

Gotta have that tornado...lol

MANY MANY MANY MANY THANKS

Have you thought of something like this perhaps?

To me personally this is actually more visually appealing than the original.

Anyone know if animated gifs will work for the background and how?

I totally guessed on the dimensions & this has the timing from the original BTW... so just reply back if you need it resized or whatever...

The timing is very easily modified, this is the timing for this particular image:

* eyes closed 8 sec.
* eyes open 10 sec.
* eyes closed 5 sec.
* eyes open 20 sec.

Yes, they will work, however, they are against the T&Cs. Your Avatar can be animated but not your background. a way around this though, in this case is to figure out where the transparent gif sits and put the blinking eyes on it in the right place so they appear to be part of the background. I did this with one of mine. I had a spinning globe that sat in the middle of a circle on my background.

I think you did quite well! The shadow is an awesome touch. Did you do that with GIMP?

I think I liked it better when just his little purple head was peeking over the edge.

reply to post by LadyJae


yeah, did it with Gimp
