When you create a new Twitter account, the first thing you do is adapt the account’s configuration options to your taste. Name, language,  time zone, geolocation of tweets… and of course, design. Twitter lets you customize the background image and the account colors, so that each user can create a truly unique Twitter profile. The service includes twenty readymade designs to choose from, plus the possibility of uploading your own images, and also create Twitter backgrounds with Themeleon.

Themeleon is a cool online app that helps you design original and colorful Twitter backgrounds, and combine them with a personal color palette. All the elements in Themeleon are fully customizable, meaning you can combine patterns and color palettes anyway you like, as well as change the pattern’s original colors if you don’t like them. There are more than 900,000 patterns and a million palettes to choose from, so we could pretty much say that the possible combinations are almost endless!

Using Themeleon is really simple. The tool has two main tabs, Patterns and Photos. With the first one you can design seamless Twitter background patterns, while the other helps you create Twitter backgrounds out of a photo, or using a plain color. In every case, Themeleon features a bunch of options to customize the background: pattern templates, color palettes, and tools to search for similar colors – or shuffle them, if you’ve run out of inspiration. The best thing is that you can preview changes in real time!
