Hi Guys! I’m sorry it took me so long to get them up. The big move last week threw me off – but you can see that I’ve added them now. Great work!
The twitter background images are just impressive. Nice post of superb twitterers.

That’s cool. Everyone has their opinion. These are MY favorites.
A very nice collection – creative indeed! Perhaps Twitter will soon open up a few more options for backgrounds, like centering, which would be awesome for various screen sizes. Right now, you have to focus on the left and hope for the best on the right.

I couldn’t agree more. It seems that we are currently stuck with the left column design, one huge background image, or a tiling background design. I’d love to see what people could do if they had a little more control!
Thx for the inclusion very must appreciated! I’m shocked i made it to your top 30! some great designs, Studio3k is my #1, i agree with brandon, twitter could give more control to combat screen sizes. followed @creativeopera and tweeted this link. Thx again & keep up the great posts!

I think your background is fantastic. Very clean and elegant. Great work!

Impressive! Those backgrounds are georgous compared to my 5-minutes page. By the way, the only issue with the ability to change background is to create one that fit a lot of contemporary screen resolutions.
