III__CUSTOMIZING HELP

Touch TOP PART of the object where it says "My Social Network" for Owner Menu. From here you can choose from Fonts, Colors, and Textures sub-menus.

FONTS: In the Fonts menu you can choose from 10 different styles. Try them all out and pick the one that matches your personality best.

COLORS: Here you can select a color for the object background and the font! Don't forget to give the base object a color! Gray can be a little boring. And try to choose a text color that is easy for people to read!

TEXTURES: Here you will be able to select a different background style. Try the Metal one! It has shiny effect and looks great with GOLD color selected for base object.

--FUN CUSTOM TIP--
Make your own texture for the Top Prim where it normally says "My Social Network," your own personal banner! You can create a 512 by 64 texture and be sure to have "Select Texture" checked in EDIT and only replace that prim face. (If you accidentally replace the wrong texture, just select RESET ALL from Owner Touch Menu to get all the default textures back.



III__FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Q: What if I do not want to display the icons for profiles I do not have? Can this be modified?

A: To keep the object low prim it only has 8 selected services. Any you do not supply info for will tell clicker that it is not available.


Q: I messed up all the textures!

A: Touch top prim and select "Reset All" from Owner Menu. That will bring the object back to factory defaults including textures.


If your object is not working at all:

• Check to be sure you have permission to Run Scripts on the land parcel. Be sure the object is set to the right group if only Group is allowed to Run Scripts.

• Open object in EDIT and click on TOOLS at very top of screen, then choose "Reset Scripts in Selection."


If your object only works when you are online/in same sim:

• Check to be sure you have permission to run scripts on the land parcel and be sure the object is set to the right group if needed. When Parcel settings allow only GROUP to RUN SCRIPTS the object must be set to same group, (even if you are the land owner.)

• To set the Group for your object, open object in EDIT and click on "More>>" to reveal tabs. In the GENERAL tab near OWNER and CREATOR you can Click the GROUP button and select it.
