How to make your design look more professional by adding noise to the background

[Bernard Lama]

You must have seen professional look noise background design in youtube etc. Believe me or not it makes a difference. You can try this in any page background, as I have used it for body background and video gallery background. 

Simply paste this code into Advanced CSS. 

body {
background-color: #e5e5e5;
background-image: url("http://api.ning.com:80/files/Eos*fzvaFyOHATHpVP2p7Ln4D-xKlCDHEJpoQSs5URxTCSR47MArAZ3vQEgDHwOTONygkV3YPYBGUc1z4GS-yeTiMyx*imIF/noiseblack.png");
background-repeat: repeat;
}

Contact me for more implementation and custom design @ [e-mail]

Well Scott, there is no any effect without image background url.

Bernard,

When adding this code are you supposed to change the URL in the link to the image you want to use as your page background?

[Bernard Lama]

Hi Armani,

No you don't have to change the img url, just change the background color suit to your preference and that't the best part.

Cheers

ahh so that was the image! lol I figured that and in that case you're right it is a very nice and clean image to use, not totally white and actually has some design to it! I like my background now so I'll keep mine but I thought this code would "enhance" my current background lol but nice tip, thanks for sharing ;)

[Bernard Lama]

Thanks Solo. And thanks for liking it.

Video guys use background noise as well  to enhance their videos, special effects etc,

 Thanks for the tip Bernard :-)

[Bernard Lama]

My pleasure Dave.

Is really pretty look  :)

a question: a video of you has rating. How did you add rating because it is very nice that option?

[Bernard Lama]

Thanks Husky. Well, you can enable this feature via Settings>Features>Choose which legacy features to enable:

[Dr Husky (Emalejandro)]

Sorry, I think that I have that feature. : (
Well, Your site has a new look and is just great! see now is very positive and totally renovated. I'm glad and I congratulate you wholeheartedly.
But I have to master the last question: is there any tip to change the width of the right column as you have gotten. I searched long way and I never got it but you've achieved. Congratulations.

[Bernard Lama]

Thanks buddy. I use this code for that implementation.

.xg_span-5 {
width: 305px;
}

#xg_body {
width: 1057px;
}
