========== A few readers have contacted me and mentioned that this trick doesn’t work any more on MySpace 1.0. And indeed MySpace doesn’t allow you to change your pictures page background any more. For more CSS code for your MySpace page, please visit our MySpace codes page ==========
Question:
Is it possible to change to change the background color of my Pictures page on MySpace
Answer:
Yes, changing the background color of the MySpace Pictures page is not too complicated. The way you customize it is by using CSS code. In essence you’ll need to paste the code i appended below in one of your album’s pictures caption.

Make sure to follow these instructions in order to change the background color of your album: ====================================================
<style>
body {background-color: yellow};#wrap {background-color: yellow}
</style>
====================================================
The CSS code written above will set the body background to yellow. You can naturally pick your preferred color at our HTML colors code chart page.
- Login to your MySpace profile and click the Edit Profile link.
- Click the Pics link in order to open the Pictures page.
- Click one of your photos.
- Click Edit Photos.
- Paste the code you just copied into the picture caption.
- Click Save.
- Now click Switch to Public View. Voila!
Want to easily customize your MySpace profile? You can find hundreds of codes at our MySpace codes and MySpace generators and tweaks sections.

for the background image..it shows on the sides of my page and

hi i tried doing this and it doesnt work for my pics.
i did everything it says and nothing happened the color
was the same can someone help me plz.
this code won’t work :/ it used to work but then i accidentaly erased it and when i put it back and i saved it, it would show two periods instead of the code
this did not work!!!
and i know for a fact that i did it correctly..
i have been looking for codes like this and i thought this was finally the one!!!
i know for a fact that myspace has blocked any style tags or any designs on the myspace picture pages…so when myspace decides to put that privilege back..this code does not work.
I tried the code above like 8 times in different photos and it didn’t work for me. i’ve copied codes before and i know how to follow directions and I’m not that crazy, lol…
Please help?!
okay so i copied this code and did what it said
but yet it didnt show up.
This has done that everytime…every code i paste it doesnt
EVER work. and im pretty sure i did what it said.
What do i do now??
ugh
I think Myspace blocked Style tags on picture pages because I have all the codes on how to put pics on your pictures page…etc…once I took it all off and try to put it back on you will see ….. in place of the style tags….hmmmm
tell how you got it to work, it won’t for me…frustrated =(
ummm yeah i tried this repeatly and i still can get it
is it still possible to d othis
because i asked someone and told me that tom
changed it and we can no longer decorate our “view more pics”
I did this right
