    Twitter only allows background images that are smaller than 800k. GIF, JPG, PNG. #information :)

    REDESIGN #43

    The over-all feel and color is that of Matrix, the movie. The vertical blurs simulates the codes streaking downwards. I used contemporary fonts in this version, but we can always change them according to your taste. What I think is important is the color and the feel of the background design, and from there we can put test and elements as per your specs.

    In other words, this submission is just the starting point of the design process that we must embark on together.

    @ Brooke, I've found testing with my own 17" and 24" monitors, that approx 300-320px on the left is the way to go. If you go wider, just make sure that the area on the left closest to the twitter content box looks ok if it shrinks and goes 'under' the twitter feed area... the right side of course needs to blend into a background colour that is specified in the twitter settings.

    One thing to remember - where I got caught out, is don't use white text in the sidebar - because you'll end up with white text in the twitter content area - which means you won't see it as you can't change that background color, it is always white :-)

    Found a great resource here for Twitter template sizing. Hope it helps.

    I see what you mean Nadia, thanks for being so helpful. Would you say 300 pixels on the left is probably best?
