Start small: add one to three images, Preview on a phone, and make sure nothing covers menus, buttons, or text.

Quick start

  1. Open Studio and choose Whole Home or a Room.
  2. Use Profile Slot A, B, or C Stickers for a simple image list. Paste one image link per line.
  3. Use Profile Screen Stickers for images that stay on screen or move.
  4. Use Profile Slot A, B, or C HTML when images need text, links, or a custom arrangement.
  5. Preview on desktop and phone.
  6. Publish the correct destination.

Sticker choices

Slot Stickers

Each Slot Sticker box can show up to six images. Paste one direct image link per line.

Screen Stickers

Choose the image links, position, movement path, direction, speed, and size.

Safe HTML Slots

Combine images with headings, captions, text, and links.

Cursor tools

Classic Cursor changes the pointer. Cursor Identity adds a trail, symbol, or short phrase.

Blinkies and GIFs in Safe HTML Slots

Use a Safe HTML Slot when you want captions, links, text, or a custom layout around the images. You can use basic HTML, but SSS removes code that could run programs or collect information.

Simple two-image example
<div style="display:flex;gap:10px;flex-wrap:wrap;justify-content:center;">
  <img src="https://example.com/blinkie-1.gif" alt="First blinkie" style="width:140px;height:auto;">
  <img src="https://example.com/blinkie-2.gif" alt="Second blinkie" style="width:140px;height:auto;">
</div>
Alt text: describe an image when it carries meaning. Use an empty alt description for a decoration that adds no information.

Screen Runners

  1. Paste one direct image link per line into Profile Screen Stickers.
  2. Choose Position: Top, Middle, Bottom, or Mixed.
  3. Choose Path: Static, Horizontal Loop, Diagonal Loop, Float, or Bounce.
  4. Choose Direction: Left to Right, Right to Left, or Alternate.
  5. Set Speed and Size.
  6. Preview on desktop and phone before publishing.
Keep runners restrained: start with one. Fixed or moving images can cover navigation and text.

Custom cursors and Cursor Identity

Classic Cursor

Changes the pointer itself. A small transparent PNG or cursor file usually works best.

Cursor Identity

Adds a trail such as Neon Comet, Pixel Dust, Rune Trail, Heart Trail, Custom Symbol, or Phrase Trail.

Cursor features are mainly for computers with a mouse or trackpad. Phones do not have a pointer that moves around the screen.

Keep it fast, safe, and easy to use

  • Keep individual GIFs near or below about 1–2 MB when possible.
  • Start with image widths around 120–160 pixels.
  • Do not cover menus, buttons, text boxes, or important content.
  • Outside image links can disappear later.
  • Use alt text when the image carries meaning.
  • Check Safe View and reduced-motion Preview when many images move.

Community resource vault

These sites can help you find old-web graphics. Their availability and rules can change. Check whether you have permission to use an image, then copy its direct image link or upload it to your own media library.

Common fixes

Image never appears

The link may open a webpage instead of an image, may not be secure, or may no longer allow sharing.

Only some stickers appear

Each Slot Sticker box can show up to six images. Test each link by itself.

Image is enormous

Resize the image or set a smaller width in the Safe HTML Slot.

Runner covers content

Reduce its size, move it to another area, or remove extra runners.

Some Safe HTML disappeared

Remove programs, forms, unknown players, or unsafe links. Keep the Slot to basic text, images, and links.

Preview works but live does not

The Room may still have a Private Draft. Publish the correct destination.

Cursor image fails

Try a smaller direct image and return the cursor setting to Auto if it still fails.

Cursor trail is missing on a phone

That is normal. Phones do not have a moving mouse pointer.
