Last week I have posted a roundup of 15 Online Background Generators, and since then I’ve realized that many people needed specialized generators for Twitter backgrounds, something that was brought to my attention by many feedback from the readers, and they are right about that. Twitter has become the place for anyone’s online presence, and having a good Twitter profile page is very important as it reflects who you really are.

Many services offer to create your Twitter profile page for a reasonable, and sometimes really unrealistic charge, what we care about is services that can generate a Twitter background free of charge and make them look good. That’s what this roundup is about, 5 free online generators to make your Twitter backgrounds stand out, and there is a bonus, a useful online tool to check how your Twitter background looks in different screen resolutions.

Twtbg.me is a cute, fun, and very useful way to check how your Twitter profile page looks with bigger or smaller screen sizes. Why I say "very useful"? Simply because a Twitter profile page is becoming your online introduction to the world, and if your Twitter page doesn’t look good, on a particular screen size, you might end up with giving a wrong impression to your visitors.

Twtbg.me does all the checking you need to view how your background looks on the following screen sizes:

• 1024×768
• 1280×1024
• 1680×1050
• 1900×1200

Once tested, you can easily tweet how you feel about the look of the page.

Twtbg.me is another cool creation by @Ozh, creator of Scr.im, and who has recently created a Twitter Background Photoshop Template, which you can download for free.

ava7Patterns offers a cool collection of seamless background patterns that you can use for your site or desktop. Plenty of sites offer free background patterns for download, but what makes ava7Paterns different is the pleasant feeling and positive vibes one gets from exploring this elegantly designed site.

Let me start by what the site is offering; well, it’s background patterns, and when you need to find them, everything that would help you in doing so is well placed, allowing you to immediately start exploring without any hassle. For instance, the colors and shapes selectors are positioned at the top of the page, and right under them is the images of the patterns with all relevant information. You want to see how a pattern would look on a webpage, then all you have to do is click the preview link. You like it, hit that download link and you got it.

ava7Patterns has some real cool stuff hidden from the inattentive eye. I’ll start with the more obvious ones such as hovering over the fly on the right side of the screen, the one that says "kill the fly", or hover over the left or right wing of the "evil lady", you know that large ladybird beetle in the center of the screen. Now for something I find really amusing; you will notice that the horizontal scroll bar is active, just scroll to the end… And no, I didn’t forget to mention what’s revealed, I just want you to discover it on your own, I could only give you this hint: 5000px.

Web based tiled backgrounds designer, create any pattern your site needs just for few minutes. Adjustable size, pictures, colors, texture and transparency.
