background for userpics

[brownstudies]

hi all,
i want to add a background image like this one to my userpics (so it looks like they have shadow), but i cant work out how to do it. i imagined it would be as simple as assigning a background url to my icons, but i cant actually find where in the code to do that (if indeed thats what i should be doing).

can anyone help?

I'd try it with something like:

.entryUserinfo-usericon img{
border: 0;
background-image:url("http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/2050/commentuserpic2ku3.jpg") !important;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
padding:13px 15px 15px 13px;
}

oh, thats wonderful, thank you!

i've managed to extend this to comments icons(.commentsUserinfo-usericon img, unsuprisingly), but how should i'd do it for my main profile/sidebox icon?

Just add:

.entryUserinfo-usericon img
, img.profile-userpic{
border: 0;
background-image:url("http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/2050/commentuserpic2ku3.jpg") !important;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
padding:13px 15px 15px 13px;
}

P.S. I think you need to se the "Use layouts stylesheed" option to "no" with that layout

will it make too much difference if i dont? i lose the blue strip behind the menu bar if i do, but at the same time, i dont want to go breaking anyones browsers!
