Customizing the sidebar image

It is easy to do! It's designed for a 250px x 150px image, so it probably won't look quite right with any other sizes.

To add the header, find these lines of code (hint: they're at the very top for easy editing) and replace YOUR URL HERE with the url of the image you want to use!

#secondary /*sidebar image */ {
background-image:url(YOUR URL HERE); 
}

To change the main background image, it's a similar principle. Find these lines of code, and replace with the URL of your image file. (The background can be any size!)

body /* background image */ {
background-image: url(YOUR URL HERE);
}

Colors used (for easy replacing)

#df1b1c · links

#ba1415 · link hover

Hiya! I'm using your gorgeous layout on this journal (I'm an RPer, herp a derp) and I just have one question regarding the 150px x 250px. I've put a gif there for now, but I was wondering whether or not it's possible to [ut that gif and a good few others like it in a loop so that one is randomly selected every time the page is refreshed.

Is there any way to do this on dreamwidth? I hope all of this makes sensedgdfhdf

Thank you for your help and your time!

Well, when it comes to CSS and so on, I'm a little lost. I can do some quick adjustments herd and there, but I'm thinking that this might be beyond my levels of expertise. If I use javascript, will everyone see the images that come up?

bfdvs do you think it's a project you're willing to take up? I only wonder because whilst I'm definitely going to try with your starting points, you'll probably do much better than me. XD

Thank you for helping me at least, I really appreciate it!
