Make Your Facebook Background Change Colors

Follow a simple procedure to change Facebook background colors.


Unlike other social network websites, Facebook doesn't allow its users to alter the generic appearance of the website's pages. The pages' colors, including background colors, are part of Facebook's brand image. Because of this factor, the color scheme is hard-coded into the website. If you use the Mozilla Firefox web browser, however, with a little tweaking you can overlay Facebook pages with new colors, altering background colors. The task requires only a copy of Mozilla Firefox, the Greasemonkey add-on software program and the Facebook Auto Colorizer script, all of which are free.


Instructions


1. Install the Greasemonkey add-on. To do this, visit the Greasemonkey web page in the add-on directory section of Mozilla's website, Mozilla.org. On that page, click on the "Add to Firefox" button, and follow the on-screen prompts.


The Greasemonkey software program allows you to run extra lines of code on top of the codes present in a web page you view.


2. Add the Facebook Auto Colorizer script to Greasemonkey. The script is available on UserScripts.org. Click on the link "Remotely hosted version." A box will appear. Click on "Install" in that box.


Scripts are the code packets that Greasemonkey runs. You may run many script packets at a time, which allows you to change the functionality of your Internet browser completely.


3. Visit the Facebook website. Each profile page you visit will change color, including background color, to match the profile picture.
