One thing to realize about the Myspace background, and any background on the web, is the canvas is infinite. It is the browser window that determines the “size” of a Myspace background. In real world terms you can think of the browser as a window in your house and the Myspace background as the sky. The sky is infinite, but you only see the part exposed by your window. The bigger the window, the more sky you see.

On thing that is different about the Myspace background image and the sky, though, is the image itself is not infinite. What happens is the Myspace background image, by default, “tiles”, endlessly, in all directions. This is an important fact to remember when choosing or creating a background image. Your window will probably be different than everyone elses window. If someone elses window is smaller they will only see part of the beautiful background you design. If the window is bigger the background will repeat and, if not designed properly, cause ugly seams.

There are things you can do to make your background look the same, or very close to the same, in all windows. The two main strategies are to create images that will tile seamlessly or change the default behaviour of the Myspace background image so it stays where you want it to. I cover both of these techniques in the “Myspace Tutorials: Myspace Backgrounds” category.
