Hi, I have done something similar in one of my project. So, I may put the code here. Where do you want to show the background. Just on user profile page or for every page on the site when the user is logged in. I mean if you see twitter, It allows to setup the background for user profile, while on orkut, the theme changes sitewide. Just trying to understand your need.

Thanks. Let me clean the code and put the plugin in an hour here

Ok, Here you go
https://github.com/sbrajesh/bp-custom-background-for-user-profile

Please note, I have not added localization to the plugin yet. It will work with single/Multisite both. Once you activate the plugin, a user can visit his/her profile and change Background link will be present next to the change avatar. Hope that helps.

Thanks Patrick. Will sure do that in update. It was something I did in an hour, so could not do much.
btw, you can do your own css section using some code (here is an example)
https://gist.github.com/1034853

just putting that in functions.php or bp-custom.php and you can modify it

what a nice plugin, just tried it and it work like a charm. but i will prefer if it can change the colour of the container rather than the site background.

@sbrajesh

Thanks. I’ll give those additional snippets a try tomorrow

This looks like it’s gonna be one of those oh-so-popular goodies by Brajesh!

@sbrajesh

It would actually be very cool if users could have options to change background image or color, either just in their profile or, click, apply the change to the whole site.

For all those asking for feature requests, I hope you’ve made donations to sbrajesh

Thank you all.
Sorry, I left yesterday as It was 5 AM in the morning here. Thanks for for all your suggestions. I am putting the update.
@gregfielding , you are right Greg. I am including the auto delete on uploading new image.
@modemlooper , yes I believe that can be modified. In this plugin I did not work to provide custom css, rather my point was, just upload and go .

@mercime, @pcwriter
Thanks to both of you for the suggestions. Including now.

@djpaul, Thank for the suggestion Paul. I appreciate it.But that is not required
@hnla no worries. When I publish a plugin as free, I do love to support them. So, the updates will follow today . Btw, It is on Github, so always welcome to fork

thank you Bowe.
Looking forward to that
