Twitter
Backgrounds Specs
There aren't any official
specs on Twitter backgrounds. And if you look around you will really only
find one solid post with some good guidlines on Twitter backgrounds.
Basically, here's what
they say and we tend to agree with. I think the rule is to play with it
and get it to where you want it. This is not an exact science.
Here's
the link to what we found. Full credit to Croncast.com for this below.
File Dimensions:
2048 px by 1707 px (no clue why i used these dimensions but I am sure
I knew what I was doing at the time)
Branding Dimensions: 80 px by 587 px
Coordinates: X=20, Y=14
Horizontal position: 20 px from the left (give yourself some padding)
Vertical position: 14 px from the top (will line up your graphic with
the top of the twitter logo. our eyes like symmetry)
File size and type
according to Twitter: "Images must be smaller than 800k. GIF, JPG,
PNG."
Aesthetics
------------
Color palette: Pick
colors that match that with default Twitter stylesheet colors. If they
contrast too much follow the Change Background directions above and
change the colors for Text, Name, Link, Sidebar fill and Sidebar border
as needed.
Recommendation: Choose colors that work with the default and save yourself
the headache of matching the CSS to your image. Follow Twitter's lead.
