Misc Make Mariana Bay look cooler

[Daryl]

Tired of mariana's basic backgrounds? With tampermonkey you can now change it by following these very simple steps!!!!

Step 0: Go to the Main Page, click Background Picker and disable "Parallax background?"
Step 1: Download tampermonkey from your browser's addon page
Step 2: Make a new script file
Step 3: Paste this in

// ==UserScript==
// @name         MarianaBay but cooler
// @namespace    https://forum.marianabay.com/
// @version      1.0
// @description  deez
// @match        https://forum.marianabay.com/*
// @grant        GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    var newImageUrl = 'https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/max_1200/cfc157151010897.630605bae2329.gif'; // You can change the link to whatever image you want

    var newImageElement = new Image();
    newImageElement.src = newImageUrl;

    newImageElement.onload = function() {
        var originalImage = document.getElementById('blurImage1');
        if (originalImage) {
            originalImage.parentNode.insertBefore(newImageElement, originalImage);
            newImageElement.style.display = 'block';
        }
    };
})();

Step 4: Enable & refresh

Now your forum should look like this:



I am aware that the original image will show for a brief moment I tried to fix it but I couldn't sorry not sorry

I actually really like this idea and looked into it way back in April but the people behind the forum's theme made it sound like gifs will make the forum shit the bed and take up loads of storage space if used as backgrounds lol


I never got the solution in the end and may have to prod again to get the code needed, if not I'll have to figure out my own solution to making it work. Either way I'll look into this again and make gif wallpapers a new background style when I can due to renewed interest in it.

Then keep it as is and people can use my method if they want to :D

Well it's obvious that it's possible but the main reason for me making this script was not really for the ability to have an animated image but to have the ability to change the background to whatever I would like
