tutorial on how to make a kick-ass profile
to add images (in the background section or wherever, shadows and text does not work for this.) use url(image-link)
for gradients: use linear-gradient(#color, #color). you can add more colors to gradients, too! just add another #hex-code to the line. theres other gradients too, like: radial-gradient(#color, #color) conic-gradient(#color, #color)
to add a transparent banner, simply use a transparent image! i use: https://i.postimg.cc/FsS4d10s/Untitled90-20240921193825.png (psst: you can also add transparency to colors by adding 00 or 50 to the end of a hex code, example: #ffffff00 or #ffffff50. you can also just experiment with letters and numbers, to get the transparency you want!)
have fun, feel free to add onto this!
