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

JavaScript:
// ==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';
   //Change the URL if you want another gif
    var newImageUrl = 'https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/max_1200/cfc157151010897.630605bae2329.gif';

    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
UPDATE1.2:
Removed album of the day and quotes
JavaScript:
// ==UserScript==
// @name         MarianaBay but cooler
// @namespace    https://forum.marianabay.com/
// @version      1.2
// @description  deez
// @match        https://forum.marianabay.com/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    const removeElement = (selector) => {
        const element = document.querySelector(selector);
        if (element) {
            element.remove();
        } else {
            setTimeout(() => removeElement(selector), 500);
        }
    };

    removeElement('li.notice.js-notice.notice--primary');
    removeElement('div.block-container[data-widget-id="42"]');
    removeElement('div.block-container[data-widget-id="41"]');

    const newImageUrl = 'https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/max_1200/cfc157151010897.630605bae2329.gif';
    const newImageElement = new Image();
    newImageElement.src = newImageUrl;
    newImageElement.onload = function() {
        const originalImage = document.getElementById('blurImage1');
        if (originalImage) {
            originalImage.insertAdjacentElement('beforebegin', newImageElement);
            newImageElement.style.display = 'block';
        }
    };
})();


UPDATE1.1:
I removed the "Welcome to the forum!" box it's too big and annoying in my opinion since I already know what mariana bay is and I don't need a reminder and as for the "Background Picker" I'll maybe add it back if requested and move it somewhere else (No need just scroll at the bottom on the main page and it's there)

JavaScript:
// ==UserScript==
// @name         MarianaBay but cooler
// @namespace    https://forum.marianabay.com/
// @version      1.1
// @description  deez
// @match        https://forum.marianabay.com/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    function removeNotice() {
        var notice = document.querySelector('li.notice.js-notice.notice--primary');
        if (notice) {
            notice.parentNode.removeChild(notice);
        } else {
            setTimeout(removeNotice, 500);
        }
    }

    removeNotice();

    //Change the URL if you want another gif
    var newImageUrl = 'https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/max_1200/cfc157151010897.630605bae2329.gif';

    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';
        }
    };
})();
JavaScript:
// Function to remove the notice
function removeNotice() {
    var notice = document.querySelector('li.notice.js-notice.notice--primary');
    if (notice) {
        notice.parentNode.removeChild(notice);
    } else {
        setTimeout(removeNotice, 500);
    }
}

removeNotice();
( Send a screenshot with your new background if you want :) )

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

@Daryl My bad for not noticing this sooner but yes, it looks to be possible
View attachment 1668
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

Talking about making the forum look cooler I really need to get to that UI and forum aesthetic update eventually as that is pretty much the next to do in forum updates...
less excuses and more grinding
wake up an hour earlier each day to work on forum code. Be a programming sigma that dominates users no homo with daily forum updates

I can guarantee I will dominate the users Yes homo

Fr tho I plan on making a thread soon on this matter on how to properly clean up the aesthetics of this place and UI improvements as it has been a common criticism from some outsiders, though many others have found the current forum's aesthetics quite charming so it will always be toggleable option if certain users prefer the OG styling.

Dude, I'm not just going to change the sites entire aesthetic and ui without consulting my userbase, they are what make this site and I want to have as much transparency in how I update this site as I can with people on here; imagine using another site you enjoy and the color layout changes to a hot pink or lime green, obviously you as a user would be pissed off by this sudden change and that's something I want to avoid, hence I want user suggestions and feedback on any steps forward with this.

That's a new "url", it's a redirect warning so people can't hide viruses or porn in hyperlinks, maybe I can look into how to remove that url styling but it's not an aesthetic choice like you think.
