I think that I have some difficulty in changing the background of this
extension.

Well, I can't find help elsewhere so I decided to ask for help here.

I have a couple of questions here:
1) I don't know what is the color code, how am I supposed to figure it
out?
2) I tried to set a link in my computer for background image and there
is still NO background (its still white).
am I supposed to restart first or what???

If this has already been answered here or elsewhere please tell me
too.
Thanks.

Thanks for the questions, the functionality you're referring to is
totally under-documented. Hopefully I can rectify this by writing
detailed instructions on www.new-tab-jumpstart.com after we resolve
this here.

1) That's CSS acceptable value. So, this can be color name (whatever
Firefox can distinguish like Red, Yellow, Aquamarine etc.) or color
code like #FFFF00 (for yellow for example) or rgb(255, 0, 0) (this is
red for example).

2) After setting path to your image you only need to refresh the page
or open a new tab. However, if it is not working, I'd need to know
which operating system and Firefox version you're using (this was
tested on Windows and Linux, but not on all possible versions) and if
I can't reproduce it I'll need you to send me path to the file as
shown in text box of the extension properties (send it as a personal
message please so it's not publicly visible) since it is possible that
there's a bug in path -> url conversion.

OK. Now I can change the color of the background.
My operating system is Windows XP sp2 and Firefox 3.6.13.

Thanks.

Brilliant stuff,
I'll see to include similar explanation on the web site.

Cheers,
