Vertical Scrolling Backgrounds
Also learn how to....
Make a seamless background
Make a static background
Backgrounds can be designed to scroll up and down a computer screen
presenting a vertical section of color on the screen. This is commonly used when
you want a solid color down the
left side under the custom buttons. You also can use this technique if you
want to fill an unused area of a screen with color
like this.
Steps to follow
- Create a long thin graphic that is longer than computer monitor
resolution. 10 pixels high X 2000 pixels long will cover this. Computer
monitor resolution can be up to 1280 x 1024, so 2000 pixels is greater.
- Paint a section of color 150 to 200 pixels in from the left edge.
- Add a drop shadow to the color if desired.
- Here is a screen capture of what it would look like.
- Save the background as a GIF or a JPEG.
- Add the background to the theme and save the theme.
- Apply the theme.
