[guesswho0192]

@risenarts yeah. i dont get why its not working. i tried it every way i could think of. but look at my channel. still no text

[guesswho0192]

thanks, really helped :). but the only problem is that my text didnt show up, help me please?

[xBatess]

Dude. could you give me the dimensions for the background please because my sound card is broken in my pc. Thanks :)

[DienesOly]

i only needed the size. Thx:P :))

[MrAsdf4210]

u dont need photoshop. u can have gimp. it's free for all windows users

[xshalludiex]

This video is soo helpful when it comes to the dimentions. Ill try these out. Ide think the dimentions wouldnt matter just because of different screen sizes. But does anybody know the size (in px) of the content on the channel? Thanks.

[SNTMcentral]

help, I try to put the bg on, but it says 'file not provided' help!

[TheNoobForTheWorld]

[ClubPENGY11]

[wingspantt]

This is great, thanks. One question: how do you design the NAME of your channel? Like, where is the option to replace the standard text?

[Goten201010]

@wingspantt just click on layer style [double click on your text layer]

and the will be tons of option e.g:drop show,gradient overlay,color overlay,blablabla.....

[cardiac937]

[Samurai1107]

Nevermind it did, But it doesnt upload i did like the same thing you did but it didnt work still.?

[Excelle121]

@vJastic Remember it has to be under 256k so you will probably have to save it on quality 8. Im guessing that was your problem. Feel free to check out my videos as a favour in return. cheers.
