Choosing Your Profile’s Colors


The last bit of design customization you need to perform is to select the colors you want to use for four other aspects of your profile: the text, the links, the sidebar background, and the sidebar border. Here's how it's done:
    
      1. Sign in to your Twitter account.
     2. Click Settings. The Settings page appears.
     3. Click the Design tab.
4. Click Change design colors. 
5. Click the Text swatch. Twitter displays two color controls, as shown in figure 2.11. The outer circle controls the base color, and the inner square controls the amount of gray in the color.


 2.11 Click Change design colors, click a color swatch, and then use the color controls to choose the color you want.

6. Click a spot in the outer circle to set the base color. You can also drag the small circle to set the base. When you make your choice, Twitter temporarily changes the background color so you can see the results.
7. Click a spot in the inner square to set the gray component color. You can also drag the small circle to set the grayness. Again, Twitter temporarily changes the background color so you can see the results.
You can also type a color code directly into the swatch. Use the format #rrggbb.
    8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for the Links, Sidebar, and Sidebar border swatches.
    9. Click Save Changes. Twitter updates your profile with the new colors.
