I know, something is now wrong with some backgrounds....+ edit.

I've got suddenly a bunch of questions of weird tiny backgrounds. I must tell now right in the beginning, that I still have no idea, why some of the backgrounds have shrunken. It must have to do something with Picasa, because I have stored all of them to my Picasa Album, and the links come straight from there.

I don't know yet how to solve this problem, but I try my best. If any of you know anything about this, please, help!

And anyone who has this problem, leave also a comment and tell which background you have, so I could try to fix something...hopefully.

Edit. Now I have some idea what has happened, but I still not quite sure, how to fix the problem. But I try...

Here is the link that explains what the issue is with picasa.

"It seems that Picasa has changed their image loading so, that if dimension is not specified, the maximum image size is not returned, but instead same as "s512" size:"

Mine was like shrunk. I posted the problem on Google Layouts and Template forum. This person (see email I copy/pasted below), responded and told me how to fix it. It worked!


Hi Deborah,

are you referring to this background image?

It seems that Picasa has changed their image loading so, that if dimension is not specified, the maximum image size is not returned, but instead same as "s512" size:

I bet many people won't like this change...

But you can make it back to normal size, by changing your background image url from:

(1600 seemed to be the max size of the image). Hope this helps.

My background, which I love, is Black Dasmask for 3 column. Thanks for your help! InSmallSpectacles.blogspot.com

I thought it was because my browser made an update today.

I added the s1600 and it worked!!!! Thanks Debbie!!!!

SherryD said...

I thought I'd done something wrong when I switched to the newer blogger version. I have the Shabby Turquoise for 3 column Minima and just love it. Have lots of people ask where it's from and I send them your way. Your designs are excellent! Thanks so much

Miulla myös ihan minitausta kulkee blogeissa:(

Eija said...

Minulla myös ongelmia taustojen kanssa kahdessa blogissani :(

Karalaitė said...

Me too - I added the s1600 in my html section as LaDiva did and it worked for me as well. Advise for everyone - add in your html background image text line this number s1600 which should go before /.jpg (s1600/xxx.jpg)

What is wrong with my Background I found here? After a couple of years some people say the top design goes downwards and covers my text...what can I do? Choose another design?Here it is:
