5. Enter the complete URL of image which you want to set as background in your Orkut profile. If you want to use a wallpaper stored on your machine, then upload the image on any image uploading website like imageshack.us and then obtain the Direct URL of image and paste it in the image link text box at the above link.

6. Now click on "Submit" button. The site will load next page containing a link "Install Theme":

7. Click on this link and Greasemonkey will show a dialog box to install the script, click on "Install" button and you have done. Now open your Orkut profile and you'll see your own custom background:

8. If you want to go back to default Orkut theme, right-click on "Greasemonkey" icon in Firefox statusbar and uncheck "-ORKUT- theme NBfun.net" option.

You can also left-click on "Greasemonkey" icon in statusbar and it'll disable it or you can completely uninstall "Greasemonkey" extension from "Tools -> Add-ons" option in Firefox.

NOTE: This tutorial can only use a custom background in your Orkut profile. Also the wallpaper will only be visible to you. Your friends will still see default Orkut theme when they'll visit your profile page.
