You might’ve noticed a few of our most recent backdrops haven’t had the cut out of the HA in them! That’s because with the beta wardrobe, you can layer your base over top of the backgrounds, or completely hide your base without having to use another item.
If you try to layer one of the new background items (such as the sturdy bookends) using the current wardrobe, you'll see something like this:

If you move over to the beta wardrobe, you can drag that background layer down below hair/base like this:

YAY MAGIC. Enjoy this feature!
I have a question. Are old backgrounds going to be revamped to this new system or will they be kept the old way?

Thank you so much for the ping, hope it cuts down on the confused people some
lol i love this feature - took me a split second to figure it out - but I fell in love. thank you for making full backgrounds - I am in love with them! <3

I really really extremely want:Also, as I already mentioned on the feedback thread, you are also welcome to now submit Custom Wearables without the avatar cut out :D
We will also accept them WITH the avatar cut out for those of you that prefer it this way, and will accept both when submitted as two separate items. We will NOT be allowing you to replace existing BGs without the avatar cut out, but you are more than welcome to submit a new version of an already-existing BG without the cutout!
I have noticed this and I really really like it! ^^

No, the old backgrounds on site will be staying the same. :)
Haha magic indeed! I was so excited when this feature was announced and can't wait to see all the pretty pretty backgrounds released going forward :D

I see. Thank you :)

So glad you told us. Thank you.
I wish some of the older backgrounds could've been made without the cutout, but I can understand why they won't be changed. That'd be a whooooole lot of work. I'm just glad the ones going forward will be! <3

What if you use a tablet and can't actually drag layers anywhere? ;^; (But don't get me wrong, this is awesome! I just thought I'd ask anyway)
I am so very excited about this change yay. :)
thanks a lot :)

- This is all well and good but the problem for me is that in the Beta not all of my items shows up therefore I don't see the point in even trying to use it if I can't use the items I'm wanting to.
I have tried Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer and I still have the same issue. I spoke of it in the Sb and Keith did ask me about it and I explained not all of the items shows up.
Is there a fix for this or do I just suck it up and buy everything all over again?

Will new BGs be still released with the HA cutout? I like to have variety XD

You don't have to use the beta wardrobe for doing your entire avatar. If you can at least get those backgrounds to show up, you can complete the rest of your HA in the current wardrobe (I believe). I'm not a programmer on the wardrobe, so I don't know why your items aren't showing up. :( Have you filled out a ticket about it or posted somewhere?
Honestly not sure!
