Tweak your Twitter sidebar to make it transparent

In the past we had seen many Twitter tools and apps for enjoying a better Twitter experience. Little tweaks on the Twitter web interface will add spice to it if you are an interface lover. There are many Twitter clients available for tweeting, but majority of the people love its web interface for its simplicity and because it offers many customizations like changing the background color, design pattern etc. Today we will see how to tweak your Twitter sidebar and make it transparent.

Having a transparent sidebar on Twitter is a bad idea, because if your background color has similar to the text color, then making it transparent will make it look ugly and invisible.

Make your Twitter sidebar transparent

Open Twitter.com and log in to your account.

Next Click on Settings and then Design.

Now copy this Javascript code which is given below and paste it in your browser address bar. I used Firefox. It may not work in Internet Explorer 9.

javascript:document.getElementById("user_profile_sidebar_fill_color").value = '';document.getElementById("title_theme").innerHTML = 'Click The Save Changes Button At Bottom To Finish!!';void(0);

Once you have copy-pasted the above code in the address bar, hit Enter and click Save changes at the bottom. Now you can see the transparent sidebar on your Twitter account.

I have tried it in Firefox and it works.

Please do share your personal experiences here in the comments section below.

Alora

Open up this page:

http://twitter.com/settings/design

Paste this code in the address bar:

javascript:document.getElementById(“user_profile_sidebar_fill_color”).value = ”;document.getElementById(“title_theme”).innerHTML = ‘Click The Save Changes Button At Bottom To Finish!!’;void(0);

Press ‘Enter’. The words: “Click The Save Changes Button At Bottom To Finish!!” will appear at the place where the text “Select a theme” use to be.

Scroll down and press the save changes button.

Taaadaaa.
