Re: Twitter update

Hi,

I'm a member of the Design Team working on a Twitter / identi.ca background
image. I wanted a tileable image, and I tried to keep it unobtrusive and
simple, with a nod to the official F13 wallpaper (it's actually made from
the same source). Also, I tried to keep the color close to the official
Fedora "Dark Blue".

Here's what I have right now:
http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/TwitterBack/back2.jpg

And this is how that would look on the Twitter page:
http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/TwitterBack/backgroundTest2.htm

I also tried something with Robyn's idea of using the foundations icons, but
that got kind of crowded and distracting. So this is really simple, but I
personally think it'll be nice to have a sleek unified background across the
microblogging services. :)

What do you guys think? Do you have any special wishes or ideas you want in
there?

I'm really liking the background you've done. Perfect.

But it would also be nice if both of the styles (twitter and
identi.ca) would match more. Twitter uses the default style which
looks gentle compared to the blue-and-blackish look at identi.ca. They
don't really look related except for the logo and background ;-).

That's very true!

I tried a lighter background for identi.ca, because the blue links sort of
disappeared. Wasn't a big success though.

But I see that someone has been editing the colors on identi.ca, so it's
already a lot more readable. I'd be happy to help if that's needed. :)

Looks cool one issue tho... I would make the stars a little brighter, I
thought it was a solid blue background and that my screen was dirty for
the fist 10 seconds or so.

great work,
