Personalize Your Twitter Profile

Step 3: Design for Minimum Monitor Sizes
It’s important to note that the dimensions of the leftand right-hand columns are fluid and change with
the size of the user’s browser window. Design for
smaller monitor sizes in an effort to keep all of your
design elements in full view. Designing for larger
size monitors might result in elements being
partially cut off on some user’s screen.
Step 4: Don’t Tile Backgrounds
Due to the
columns
layout,
background
images
should be
one image
instead of
tiled. One
core image
is better at
handling the
transitions
from the
columns on
the page.
Be aware of this element
when creating a design for
your Twitter background and
be sure to leave head-room
for the toolbar

Use the advice from these steps to create
an awesome custom background image for
your Twitter profile. When you have the image, you
can visit your Twitter account settings and under the
ensign tab, click the change background image
button to upload your new image to your account. If
you are looking to stay clear of Photoshop,
Themeleon has some great Twitter themes for
customization.
