Description

A chrome extension that lets you set a custom background image and colour for web twitter. A nostalgic throwback to when the homepage wasn't a sea of searing white. Installation ============ Install from the Web Store and click on 'Options' below the extension. You can then upload an image and specify a colour. You can currently: Upload a custom image Set a custom background colour Specify whether the image tiles or not Specify whether the image stretches to cover the page or not. If you have any feature requests or ideas for improvement, please open an issue! Note: This is a purely local change. Other users cannot see the background you set, I'm afraid - this is only to re-implement homepage customisation that twitter has removed.

Please update so that it works with x.com. I can't stand the pure whiteness. I miss my background TvT...

Doesn't work in the slightest.

I just added this extension after uploading a background image and it's still showing the ugly blue background that Twitter is defaulted to. Help? Thanks.

It was great while it lasted, but because of some kind of change in twitter's source code, changing it with js-user-style-bg-img no longer works. :(
