Customizing the Twitter look is a simple way to make your profile stick out, and to make your home feel a little more personal. Your profile on Twitter isn't truly yours until you've customized it by adding a picture (whether a shot of you or some other non-copyrighted image), you can create a custom colour scheme, select the design of the page and more.

Switching backgrounds and changing the colour palette of your Twitter page is easy to do. Simply select "Settings" in the top row of links on your Twitter page, click on the "Design" tab and then either select a "theme" or click on "Change background image" or "Change design colors" and get creative. Don’t worry about goofing anything up. Any changes you make will not be visible to anyone but you until you click "save".




The best way to make sure that your Twitter page doesn’t look like anyone else’s is to upload your own background image. Those of you with the necessary skills might want to use Photoshop or a similar program to create your own from scratch. If that’s not a possibility, then there are other options. You can simply upload a photograph you’ve taken, for example. Another option is to find an image that will tile (repeat) in an appealing way. Search Google for "tile background" and you’ll find thousands of places to get them.
