Nice news today for all Twitter lovers: it is possible to change the cover of the profile header by putting a personal image . Twitter then adapts the design of the profiles to the graphic style already implemented on Facebook with the cover of the diary and on Google+ with the cover and allows users to customize the header of the profile, with a photo or image.
By accessing Twitter from PC, iPhone or iPad, from today, you can see a new button at the top called " Account " which leads to the personal tab, where you can read the list of tweets sent or retweeted.
The upper part of the profile, where your photo appears in the center, can be changed by placing a personalized background.
To change the background just go to the Twitter settings (on the page //twitter.com/settings/design), look for where " Heading " is written and change the header .
On iPad you can also take a photo while if you open Twitter from your computer you can simply choose an existing image from your computer.
The image should have the minimum size of 1252 × 626 (although in the tests I have not found this) but it must not be larger than 5 MB.
After the choice, the image must be adapted to the cover space by zooming and respecting the proportions.
The cover image is a background that appears behind the avatar photo and behind the writing of the biography.
Since the writing is white, one must try to avoid photos that are too light because otherwise it becomes illegible.
This overlap of images, cover-profile, will allow the most imaginative to create original covers, as has already happened with Facebook, making photomontages or nice combinations.
For example, you can see the funny and nice Twitter covers of Ryan Seacrest and @AnthonyQuintano, @alexmiz, @Brad, @allieleww as well as the classic of myself, Pomhey.
