As i was making documents to share with my students using Google Docs, i wanted to create a background for all these documents. Hence i had to do the necessary research to achieve this. I would like to share it with you which may help the Google docs user.
Step I:
Load the background image to the google drive.
Step II:
Create a URL for this image. To do that first go to the sharing option of that image in google docs and make it publicly available. Then open the website
http://www.gdurl.com/ and copy the sharable link to this site to create a permalink.
Step III:
Open the website https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps in chrome browser and search for Stylish extension.
And install this extension. It will add an icon on the right side of the address bar.
Step IV:
- Open any google docs and click on the stylish icon.
- Click the first link Find more styles for this site
- You may search for Linen Background for Google Docs and click the link
- Now open your Google docs and you will see a nice background
- Click on the Stylish icon on the right hand side of the address bar and this time click “Manage installed styles”
- Then in the right pane click the button edit.
- Replace the background url with the permlink that you have got in step II. It will look something like the following
#docs-editor {
}
.docs-title-inner {font-family: Georgia !important;}
.docs-menubar {height:28px !important;}
Step V:
Refresh the open google docs and enjoy the background you have just created.
