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.
Extension was last updated two years ago but it still works!
it’s very Good exactly what I want it
Works perfectly! Thanks!
Solves a problem that should never have been in the first place. Installation is simply and instructions are clear.
Moments and a few other pages display text directly on top of the background. Which means for those with dark backgrounds the text is unreadable without first highlighting.
I’ve been using this since its pre-Chrome Store days and I have to say, it’s works exactly as promised with no fuss, no muss. It does require a little work on the user’s part, but it’s pretty easy to set up and works for as long as you have it! I really dig it.

As of v2.0, you no longer have to store images on a remote server (or the Twitter server). Just upload the images to the extension directly with the Upload button and you’re set!
Does, what it said!! save my sight
this extension saved my life
Doesn’t work.
Doesn’t work in the slightest.
perfect
Not working anymore ?
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. 🙁
It works perfect!
Fantastic, simple extension which functions exactly as you’d expect and exactly as intended. Surprised it took me this long to find it!
