Custom Twitter Theme


Thursday, May 28th, 2009

This is my first post on something I’ve worked on and it’s about the twitter theme I’ve made. Ok, so it doesn’t seem much of a theme. Just a background and some color combinations but I didn’t really know that I can make my own until I’ve seen this blog post earlier: 40 Beautiful Twitter Themes. There are themes I like and some I don’t like and I thought I wanna try making my own, too.

So, I accessed my twitter and went to Settings –>Design. Aside from the pre-formatted simple themes, there were only two options. One is for the background image and another for site colors. I decided I’d start by making a test theme — you know, just for trying out if it works ok. I can’t think of a good design yet so I went to the artwork section of Photoshop Elements and scanned through the pre-installed backgrounds. I found one I like, modified the colors and added some details. I set the new background to the one I’ve made and changed the colors to match my new background. Here’s the result:

Yep. It’s kinda girly2x as of now. I’ll try to make other themes later. It’s just a test, after all.

Next, I’ll try to make my own custom wordpress theme, too…
