Lol I just have a lot of fun working with pics. These were very simple workings for me you should see the ones I created from multiple pics or from scratch lol. Here is one that is a combination of 7 different pics and added text.

Mini Profile Background


If the size limitations seem a bit small to you, you can use a background image instead. You upload an "empty" image so the text in the profile is pushed down and you can use the whole space.


Size requirements:

Pixel Space: 180 pixels wide and 400-480 pixels tall

Maximum Pixel Dimensions: 200 pixels wide by 700 pixels tall.

Maximum File Size: 100k if you're using a clear-GIF as your avatar, if not, the combined file size of your avatar and background image cannot exceed 150k.

New Rules for Avatars and Mini-Profile Backgrounds



Instructions:

1) Put this link: files.abovetopsecret.com... in the "Avatar" section on your profile. (The size is 170X240)

2) Upload the image you want as background:

Click on it and (when the new window opens up) select "Profile Background". It will take you to your profile, scroll down until you see the "Your Background Image" option and click submit:

3) Make sure your username is readable. You can choose the font color:

Now you have a background image

This is an excellent thread to help people with their avatar

Sorry about that. If you put it as a mini background and do not have an avatar it defaults to the size of the avatar. In order to loophole this you need a transparent avatar. The easiest way to do it is just to give you the code.
h ttp://files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/ut4e7bd94d.gif
take the space out from between the h and the tt then paste it as your avatar. Then reset the new pic as your mini background.

I got it now but thank you. I didn't know you needed a blank image.

Making an avatar is fun...and time consuming sometimes!

My current avatar is a creation part my own (the background) and a bit of change to the "atom bomb clown" avatar I found somewhere on the interwebs!

Gimp is helpful for manipulating colors, layering, etc..and can be useful in building your avatar from scratch...or with the assistance of an already existing avatar!

Some people have a touch of trouble with gimp (it can be complicated at first) but with some practice it is a fine download and very user friendly...try it out!

GIMP

Anyway...good thread OP...and happy avataring my fellow ATS'ers!

I just started using that.

I never used any photoshop software before.

But it wasn't too hard to get the hang of quickly.

Yep, Yep. I use gimp for most of my work. I also use Photoshop and Photo Pros II but mostly gimp it works awesome and can be learned fairly quickly.

I am working on that gif for you but the issue is that it can only be 50 pixels high so it is either too small to read or stretched out. I will keep working on it and see what I can do.

I just downloaded GIMP trying it out now, seems pretty easy to use.

Yeah I wondered about your avatar.

One thing I love about this site is the creative atmosphere.

If someone could make me an avatar that would be great. Something utilizing my name "Cooler Abdullah." Perhaps something like a cool, hip-looking Muslim guy. Or maybe like the name Cooler Abdullah in sort of Islamic-styled graffiti? Something like that.

If someone can, I'd appreciate it. Just hit me up in U2U if you have some ideas.

I just sent a U2U on how to fix it with the transparent avy in it for you. Just set the transparent as your avatar and the new pic as mini back ground and you are set. ;D

Just sent you a U2U for some help...you are so kind.
