Well Enough Alone...

~"The people who play Bungie games tend to sense that there's something behind the games that's attractive to them. Then they become fans of the games. And then they become rabid fans. And then they become employees of Bungie."(Life story) -Marty

I went to see if I could make my profile even cooler by changing my background, however there are only (I think) 13 backgrounds to choose from. Should they have a way for members to submit ideas for ne background like they do for group themes, or just add some new ones?

I mentain my lawn with sheer intimidation, and its not easy. Grass has been around for a long time, and it doesn't take crap from anyone.

I think they should add some more Backgrounds for members. That would be cool if you could submit ideas for backgrounds, I would!

And then...? Submit them to you? :D

Looks like they're 902x260. I think I could throw one together...

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Fortunately for you, a degree in Computer Science isn't required. While some kind of program is needed, you're looking for an art program, not a technical sort of program.

For a free windows editing program, check out Paint.net or The GIMP. (Also available for linux, but any linux user should probably be aware of that already) Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Macintosh based programs, so I can't name any at the moment. It might come with an adequate program, however.

For the best in the business, you can get Photoshop. Available for both Windows and Mac, but somewhat (even prohibitively) expensive. If you're at a university though, you might be able to get access to a copy through a computer lab.

Ah thanks.
My new laptop has Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0. How do I select a picture, crop it and cut it out, and paste it to a new picture for a background?

And do I have to resize the image to 902 X 240 pixels?
