How do I setup up my twitter background to maximize on any screen resolution?

You cannot.

The only options you have are to

1. Use a larger image > slower loading
2. Check the box to “tile background”... which, of course, doesn’t stretch the image, just repeats it > ugly for photographic images
3. Resize your browser window > no need to maximize your browser window for Twitter.

thanks.. I have seen many that do, just thought there was something I needed to do in the settings..

Can you point me to someone’s Twitter page where the background resizes automatically based on your browser window?

Try these, I am on my netbook right now so not sure if these are one of them.. calilewis, ambermac, cnnbrk, veronica, treyratcliff

I only had time to look at treyratcliff.

His is just really wide, but if you can open your browser wide enough, you can see that he’s also tiling it: http://s884.photobucket.com/albums/ac49/robmandu/?action=view&current=TreyRatcliffTreyRatcliffonTwitter-G.jpg

Ok, I see. but horizontal should be what? I figured 800 would be enuff..

I meant Vertical

I have two 20” LCDs running at 1,600×1,200 resolution in a side-by-side configuration (hence why I was able to capture the really wide screen shot).

Someone running a single 30 inch Apple Cinema Display is likely running at 2,560×1,600 resolution.

Point is, who are you setting this large, non-repeating background up for? If all possible users or any possible configuration, then you’ll need to get crazy. How about that 30” display turned sideways? You’d want an image at least 2,560 pixels in height then.

Or what if someone has a 4 screen rig comprised of those 30” Apple flat screens, two on top and two on the bottom? That’d be 1,600 + 1,600 = 3,200 pixel image height then.

Personally, I suggest just duplicating Trey Ratcliff’s approach… use an image 1,200-ish x 800 and be done with it.

Thanks for you help.. I guess that’s what I will do.. appreciate your time..
