Avatar - Question

I'd like to do something like this:

how do I customize this area around the avatar?

What version do you have?

Hello,

You can make something similar using this code.
Add it to Admin CP > Display > Colors > CSS

For phpBB3...

Code:

.postprofile {
padding : 5px;
background : #EEE;
border : 2px solid #444;
-moz-border-radius : 10px 0 10px 0;
}

For punBB...

Code:

.user {
padding : 5px;
background : #EEE;
border : 2px solid #444;
-moz-border-radius : 10px 0 10px 0;
}

You can change the border and background color codes.

I've forgot to mention the version of my forum ^^'
My forum is phpbb2.

For phpBB2 it is going to be tricky.
You need to get an image to put in the background and use this code to set it...

Code:

.name {
padding-top : 20px;
display:block;
background : url(TOP BACKGROUND IMAGE URL) no-repeat top;
}

It works, but I still have a problem :S

The image isn't suposte appear in this area. how can I remove it?
there are any other code I could use to solve this?

thanks for your help

phpBB2 stylesheet is not very flexible. I don't think there is another way to achieve this unless you add new containers in templates.
