While editing your profile, at the bottom of the "Personal" tab, you'll find the mini-profile editor:
Your mini-profile is the box that appears next to your posts, containing some of your user information. The editor lets you customize the color of the text in it, as well as its background. This thread will explain how to use the mini-profile editor.

Mini-Profile Background
A string as follows goes in this box:
[full image url] is where the full URL of the desired background image goes, and [hex code, with #] is where just that goes (ex. #ccff00, #000000, etc.). Hex codes are elaborated on in the name and text sections below.
An example of a working string would look like this:

{"image":"[full image url]","color":"[hex code, with #]"}[full image url] is where the full URL of the desired background image goes, and [hex code, with #] is where just that goes (ex. #ccff00, #000000, etc.). Hex codes are elaborated on in the name and text sections below.
An example of a working string would look like this:
{"image":"https://i.ibb.co/TrBPMBg/proboards-image-bg-bfdia-towers.jpg","color":"#262626"}The color chosen here has no effect on the background image itself; think of it as a fallback. If the background image cannot be loaded, browsers will display the background as this solid color.
You might be wondering how the background image will fit into the mini-profile. The mini-profile increases the size of the image by about 23.92%, and positions it in the top-left corner (your guess is as good as mine). You may have to experiment with your image a bit.

Mini-Profile Name Color
All that goes here is a hex code without the # (ex. ccff00, 000000, etc.). This changes the color of your display name on the mini-profile.
If you're unfamiliar with hex codes and don't know how to get the color you want, you can use this color picker.

Mini-Profile Text Color
Another hex code without the # goes here. This field works almost identically to the Mini-Profile Name Color field above, save for the fact that it changes the color of all of the text contents besides your name on the mini-profile.
That's how mini-profiles work! As of writing, there are some notable eccentricities in the builder:
- The simulated mini-profile on the right may not always display your changes. In this case, you can look at any of your own posts to see what your mini-profile looks like.
- Sometimes there's a prompt for inserting your background image URL and color, and pickers for inserting either text color; sometimes there aren't. These seem to have only started appearing for me when I became an admin, so I would appreciate feedback from people in other groups/no groups on whether or not they appear to you, too.
