This is a short tutorial on how to make and upload a bebo layout. I hope you like it.

STEP 1.

The image Above demonstrates the six images it takes to make a bebo Layout. A long with the file names they must have to be accepted by bebo (excluded are the extentions which can be either .jpg or .gif) Along with these specific file names they also have specific dimentions and size restrictions, which are as follows.

nav_bg - - - - - - 760x40 - - - - - - max size 10K
main_bg - - - - - - 760x375 - - - - - - max size 40K
main_icon - - - - - - 20x20 - - - - - - max size 1K
main_footer - - - - - - 11x15 - - - - - - max size 1K
module_header - - - - - - 375x44 - - - - - - max size 10K
module_bg - - - - - - 375x50 - - - - - - max size 10K
module_line - - - - - - 32x3 - - - - - - max size 1K

To save you a bit of time you can download a zip file of some blank templates to get you on your way by clicking the link below.

TIP: I had a hard time getting some of my images under the size restrictions. Untill I worked out that opening and saving through paint gave me a good size.

 

Step 2.

After you've finished designing your files simply goto your bebo profile page and click Change Skins - -> Roll your Own - -> Add New Skin - -> Upload graphics. This should take you to the dialog box below.

Then simply browse your files and upload

 

Step 3.

The last step is to pick your background and font color by clicking Edit Stylesheet. Yous should then get a dialog box like the one below.

This part is pretty self explaintry simply read the tabs and pick which color you'd like. Oh, and the padding of your images (the amount of space before the text starts)

Once you have finished all that simply click preview Layout and if your happy with it click Use Layout

THE END
