How to Use a Facebook Background

Unlike MySpace, Orkut and many other social networking sites, Facebook doesn’t offer any themes or backgrounds to its users. So people came up with a browser tweak that will help the Facebook users to have nice and attractive Facebook backgrounds. To use these Facebook backgrounds, the user has to use the Mozilla Firefox browser. Recently some plugins, which don’t really work well, have been rolled out for Internet Explorer and other browsers, too, but Firefox supports most of the plugins for Facebook backgrounds.

Plugins like Grease Monkey allow the user to run custom scripts on webpages. Taking this plugin (and similar plug-ins ) to our advantage, you can install beautiful backgrounds to your Facebook account. However, if your friends visit your profile, they will not be able to see the theme that you have set because the Facebook background is set in your browser and not on the Facebook server.

The following Facebook layouts require you to install yontoo and FBLayout plug-ins. Although there are no security issues reported about using this plugin to have Facebook backgrounds, it is however recommended that you check online for any reported issues. You can download the yontoo plugin or the FBLayouts plug-in.
