Twitter removes background images from timeline, but there's already a fix

A coder has already produced a Google Chrome plugin to reverse Twitter's change, allowing background images to be restored for users

Twitter users are no longer able to set their own background pictures as they browse the site, after the company quietly turned off the much-loved feature and replaced backgrounds with a uniform light grey.

User-set backgrounds will still be visible when a specific user's feed, or individual tweet, is visited. But when browsing the home timeline, users are now faced with a plain background, rather than one of their own choice.
