Filling the box...

[KatacrossthePond]

...I can see that others have done it but I don't seem to manage. How on earth do you get the background to fill the whole box that is there for the living avatar? When I use the crop tool, it doesn't seem to do the trick (b/c the crop box is always square and the background starts off as rectangular...) And then, can you shrink your avatar?

Sorry - I'm usually pretty computer literate, but this has me stumped. :confused:

The backgrounds from the old CF Characters don't fill the box, but there are some backgrounds that came with the Living Avatar program that do fill the box. And I don't think there's a way to shrink the actual size of the avatar box, but if you use a regular avatar (not a Living Avatar), it's smaller.

Aha! I worked it out now. The background box can be dragged to size the same way the crop box can!

thanks for your help, CelticGrace!
