So for instance, if you want to change your background color, in the code you will probably need to find the part that says "Background settings". Under that it will have settings such as the color, URL, or any background effects. So to change the background color, you'll see a part that says "bgcolor" and afterwards it will have a six-digit number called a hex code. You can find a list of hex codes here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). To change the background URL (if you have a background image) you can do an image google search for whatever image you want, and you copy the link of the image, and replace it with the old image URL. If do not want a background image, just delete the whole URL there, and it will be fixed, and the background color will go into effect. If you do not see a "bg image" part, type in < bgcolor='URL' > (exclude spaces) or, at funky-chickens.com, they have all sorts of ways to make codes for your background.
So check where you or your friend put the layout code in the edit profile section. In some cases, it can be hard to find the spot that you need to change, so you might have to redo the code, or try to find it in other spots in the code.
I also thought since the title of the question was "background" you wanted advice on just the background settings to your layout.
If it's all in general, like text, scrollbar settings, or other things, just look for topics that say "text", "scrollbar", or "misc". Some layouts catagorize them to make it easier on the people using them. Some people put it all together, which makes it more difficult to change the settings. If it's like that, try searching, and separating parts of the code to better understand the layout code so you can change it.
If I confused you, or if you want to know more information, I recommend going to www.funky-chickens.com. They have easy step-by-step codes and instructions for HTML in general. Or you can e-mail me at xxmcrfan15xx@yahoo.com.

on your home page after you log in, by your picture in the top left is a link that will say "edit profile". go to that, and go to your "about me" section which is probably one of the first things, i think, and at the bottom of that section should be where your current layout code is.. you want to delete the OLD layout code and put in the new one for the new layout you want to have.
[[you get these layout codes from different sites that have layouts, ex. whateverlife.com]]
i hope that helped!!
if you need anything, feel free to send something to my inbox! im pretty good with all this myspace stuff, ive had one for a while now! :P haha.
