One of the reasons that I love twitter other than its addictive properties and ease of integration with other services is the ability to design your own templates or themes. Part of the reason I love this feature is because it is so easy to use. Instead of flooding users with numerous features you are supplied with an easy to use and simple system that allows for almost endless customization. Part of the creativity involved in twitter themes is actually exploiting the system in order to create a beautiful result. That being said, I have decided to share some of the themes I have used recently with my readers. Also, depending on the success of these themes, I will be adding more in the future.
Installation Instructions:
To install these themes simply right-click the “download background image” links below and then select “save link as” to download the background graphic. Then, simply copy and paste the hex color codes into the corresponding field on your twitter design page (Settings > Design).
Ooh, and while you are at it if you would like to follow me on twitter feel free to visit my profile.

Haha, that’s a good idea. I like the T-bone one, I might actually use that image for a project I have coming up!

Not really got into twitter yet, but these look nice. Is there anything else you can modify in twitter or is that it?

thats the extent, but its still really fun either way. I actually like the simplicity, it keeps the myspace effect from happening.

Eat a third and drink a third and leave the remaining third of your stomach empty. Then, when you get angry, there will be sufficient room for your rage.
