“Must Have” Info About The New Twitter

If you aren’t already aware, Twitter is in the process of gradually nudging users toward the updated user interface and although it is undeniably better than its predecessor, it does have one annoying drawback that will likely cause a pain in your neck: it isn’t compatible with most custom backgrounds…

In particular, Twitter takes up more real estate on the screen than before so it is likely that any of your old custom backgrounds are getting cut off in the new interface. You can check out how well your background works by going to your Twitter page and clicking the preview link at the top.

Regular readers likely remember the set of articles from 2009 that focused on getting more out of Twitter and one of the included resources was a wonderful psd template that not only made it easy to create an awesome custom background but it explained how Twitter’s image rendering properties functioned.

Fortunately, the very same folks at fuelyourcreativity.com who created that template have come out with a revised version for the new Twitter. You can download it from their site or pick up a copy right here.
