How to 'hack' Facebook profile

One of Facebook's most important components for a user is their profile picture. This image is displayed in the upper left of the page. It can be a recently updated image or it can be taken from any of your online albums.

Typically, the profile image shows a portrait of someone and appears before the light gray line connecting from the left of the profile to the leftmost tabs. The following figure shows you a typical profile page with a regular image.

Original profile image area

Unlike Myspace, Facebook uses the same color and layout for all profiles. This makes your site look better overall, but it also limits your ability to look at the profile. You can display Facebook applications in the left sidebar, put them into tabs, but any changes to the style of the page or how it is displayed are restricted.

Hack Facebook profile picture

There is no valid way to 'hack' Facebook, but there is a method to change the profile picture, making your profile more beautiful, more eye-catching, or the setting of profile pictures for lets you innovate some of Facebook's rather stiff profile layouts.

Working?

When creating a profile image from a certain image in your album, Facebook will allow you to crop it at whatever size you choose. When you go to your profile page, the selected image will be displayed with the elasticity equal to the width and height allowed by Facebook.

The first thing you need to understand here is the amount of time you need to spend on it. Facebook displays profile pictures with a maximum width of 200 px. If you exceed this size, it will automatically resize your image to 200 px and still maintain the correct height ratio. Facebook will display a picture in the profile with a height of up to 600px. This means that it will display any image with a maximum size of 200 x 600, otherwise it will change or resize.

Background image for blank profile

Now that you know the maximum size of images in your profile, the basic tip is very simple. Facebook sets the display image to the highest position of the image against the gray line of 52 pixels. Normally, all your photos are placed at that height on this line.
To break the split line in your profile, simply create a gray image ((# D8DFEA) with a size of 52 pixels below the top. In addition, you need to redraw the area above the line This split follows to match the light blue (# EFF0F5) used in the header of the profile.

For more information on the colors used in Facebook's style sheets, you can refer to the following link for Facebook application developers.

Replacing this blank form allows you to do some things that Facebook normally doesn't allow: the option to not display profile images. A new Facebook account without a profile image will display a blank image box that looks like a blurred personal image on it. Using a white line pattern allows you to add a 'negative' space to your profile, which is normally impossible.

The interesting thing starts here when you cover an image on the upper part of the blank template. The hardest part in doing this is isolating the image so that it can be clearly defined with the background image template. Our suggestion in this case is to use Adobe Photoshop to draw a selection around your image, then remove the corners.

Put you in a living room on Facebook profile

There are lots of interesting things here that you can do by pairing foreground photos with Facebook's background image. The first thing I did here was to create a small living room and put myself in it.

You can rely on the gray line to make it look like you're hanging on. Start by taking a picture in a swinging position on the door, then extract the image. Then cover the white version of the Facebook profile image template.

Here are the pictures in the process and the final result:

Create an image with a wall effect

And this is the profile picture when using this effect.

Another interesting photo you can use is a picture of a tall retired child. This photo gives the profile quite a lot of fun and because it pushes the information of the left part down.

Adjust the gray line

There are many things that can be done with a gray line surface, such as creating a curved or pointed angle that interacts with the image. You can see an example of how to hack this in the image above. The image above shows a few of the stalactites falling on a blue unicorn and the earth in the middle of the header.

Splitting photos in Photoshop is like using scissors to crop photos from a magazine. Photoshop has a powerful set of tools, a magic wand and a quick selection tool to help you. There are many instructions on how to make a selection, this is one of the documents that we recommend for your reference.

another problem

Hack some different parts. The easiest way is to post a status update that is too long to cover the two documents. You can avoid that by posting a long-term upgrade, then deleting it. See in the picture below on this issue. That action will leave your current state blank, but the upgrade will still appear on your news section and the illusion of hacking will be maintained.

Another point to note in using this hack is to display your profile image in the wall list. Profile images often shrink a bit. Plus, if you choose a 200 × 600 image, it will be more appropriate and separate your photos from others on Facebook when you display them in the list.

Conclusion and download

Facebook's presence is an important part of personal online fanfare. You can completely make a little difference on the Facebook network by adjusting the appearance of this special profile.
