Can I have pictures behind the tree?

Yes – choose what sits behind your tree in your Personal settings, and it's just for you. Pick a plain colour, one of your own pictures, or a slow slideshow: eras from knights to the seventies, or your favourite family photos. For example, you could have Grandad's old garden fading in and out behind the cards. Your picture can be stretched to fill the screen, tiled like wallpaper, or fitted whole.

Where to find it

  • Press your name in "Signed in as" (top row) → your card opens → Personal settings on the card's button row

On a phone: if the card's buttons are tucked away, press ☰ Menu first.
