It still looks bad. I don't think there's a way to make this solution work consistently. I have my browser set as wide as my screen will allow on a Powerbook G4. It still looks bad.

I'm working on this for all of the social media sites I'm active on. My profile with the wallpaper is here: http://twitter.com/motionblur It's currently designed for 1920x1670, but I'll be adjusting it to suit a 1024x768 resolution, with the logo left aligned.

I'm assuming a 1000-pixel wide browser window, which is (I think) within the average realm these days, but it certainly doesn't cover everyone. Hm, I wonder if it's worth adding a "widen your browser to see everything" note. Tammy – Yes, Brian’s right.

Keeping in mind my modicum of talent, and the fact that anything graphic takes me longer than a few minutes--how hard it it to do a sidebar like that--really truly! Thank you!

The background image is anchored, so if you make your window wide enough, it should show everything. But you're right, that's a big disadvantage to using a custom background with important information in it.

The twitters & about segments shift at least 50 pixels to the left & all I see on these backgrounds is half the information you're promoting. Ick. That's why I haven't pursued this advice before.
