As the person that updates the BTHSnews Twitter, I want a Twitter background!
This is just to make it look more official.
I was thinking something like the CNN twitter ( http://twitter.com/cnnbrk ) with just CNN on the side.
So BTHSnews on the side, mostly blue based, upper left corner.
If anyone can make this background it would be great!

Beware the arrival of DoodleKid. He will bring with him colors of darkness and blinding white...ness...colors.

Don't expect anything that far off from what Chappy's already submitted though, since that's the basic BTHSnews layout.
Chappyy, did you use the BTHSnews website background? If so, how'd you get ittt?

And if you guys aren't accepting anymore Twitter backgrounds, I guess I won't do it, but Chappy's background seems a little small... A large chunk of the screen isn't being covered by the background. >_<

I actually googled the image and rendered it then just added colors based off the bthsnews website, and aren't backgrounds generally 1024x780? o__o

My screen's 1440x900... >.>

When I make the background, I'll just use 1920x1080 since that's like... HDTV dimensions and I doubt many people have monitors that big.

When I make backgrounds I use 1800x 1150... then I resize it to fit the site.

I'm not very familiar with Twitter's background options... Can someone give me some insight? Screenshots, descriptions, etc.?

Background options are just tiled repeat or no repeat. You can choose an additional background color if the background is to remain stable. There's no possibility of repeating just vertically or horizontally and they start generally on the top left hand corner. Lol Chappy, people nowadays prefer widescreen monitors so they can see more but I still stick to the classic 1024 x 768 but recently upgraded to a 1280 x 1024 :P

@Clement: That's pretty big. I prefer a size smaller than the puny 800 x 600 resolution just so everyone won't have too see the annoying scrollbars, lmao.

Does anyone mind if I redraw the BTHSnews logo (the one with the boxed Brooklyn Tech depiction, radio tower, and computer)? It's really rough and sketchy...
