Which software for coding is your favorite? If you haven’t got one, now you certainly have some promising programs to choose from!

I hand picked those 50 Twitter backgrounds, while I was browsing through like 200-300 twitter pages – these all were the ones which caught my attention. Interesting to notice, not all of favorites are really colorful, but even subtle, clean and elegant but still stood out. In my opinion the best case is to create what suits you in the meantime thinking about usability and readability – but light designs with few colors included to make design shine seems to be the best case! What’s your case?

1. Targetscope

This website is mainly attracting by the fact that it is made with flash assistance. I love scope effect, paper scrolling, airplane shadow and of course music in the background.

2. Level 2 Design

Very beautifully made airplane and car. Very nice looking retro style clock. You can also activate the radio. Don’t forget to move your mouse on the ad pole.

3. Media BOOM

The main thing here is that you can choose day or night mode. In the day mode you will find a very well designed city and view. You can see a fuming chimney and flowing U.S. flag. When you switch to night, then you will see a signboard with word ”METROPOLITAN”. I really like the letter ”A”, because it seems that it has a lack of electricity. Of course, there is also music in the background.

4. Sensi Soft

The first thing that comes in mind is the large advertising pole in the middle of the screen. On the bottom of the advertising pole you can see a perfectly erected arrows, and if you move your mouse on top of ”ABOUT US”, then you’ll see how smoothly everything goes. In the background there are animated flying birds, drayman, Newspaper and fly-away England Flag.

5. Casino Lemonade

I think that angel highlights this site very well.

6. Prospect Denim

This website is perfection. There is music and bird sound in the background. Animated truck, wind generator, mailbox and animated buttons makes this website balanced.

7. Thunder Fuel

This website is my number 1 choice, because it is simple and almost everything is based on sound. So, quite a funny question, but would you like to hear how does a short circuit sound? If yes, then quickly move the mouse vertically on hosted websites. Also, I think button sound is good and do not forget to click on ”Launch”.

8. Germville

I mainly chosed this site simply because I love animated city. I think that it is the perfect supplement to a very retro design background.

9. Turbo Chef

PERFECT intro with amazing sounds! Nothing else to say except that you must focus that this website is different from the others by the fact that the website itself is not retro, but the product they advertise is. You should also look for all kinds of parts, as most are done in modern and contemporary style. Here are very, very many options, so check them carefully.

10. Custom Design

Everything is made on the television screen. Basic options: brightness adjuster, sound regulator, fullscreen mode, ability to skip movies, option to switch on/off the TV. You can also play with the big button on the TV in the upper right corner.

11. Big Rig Design

I chosed this site because it has very well highlighted buttons.

12. Devotchka

Everything in flash. Loading screen is loking good. Great animation in the beginning. Music in the background.

13. Miss Havisham’s Attic

Animated pixie, clock and switching pictures inside picture frame.

14. Big State Games

Very nice sounding song in the background, a wide variety of animation… what more can you wish for?

15. Fred Perry

This website focus is placed on the background. I do love it and like the old look. As always, there are different effects.

16. Visual Media Group

Finally, I also found a Latvian made homepage. This is incredible, I even didn’t knew that I would ever find something like this. This website is incredible, just take look yourself. Starting from a variety of text effects, ending with an animated view. This is a must see!

17. Repiso

I chosed this retro design because it has a modern undertone. Moving the mouse, you’ll see moving mosquito. There are also some effects.

18. No Limit

I like this website, because they have include a flash animation of the cube that turns into 3 parts.

19. Restaurant L’unita

Yet something unseen. When the page loads, you can see a wine pouring effect. Below is a cafe, which has a wide variety of flash animations. Watches, paintings, a lamp, telephone, a glass of wine, a statue, logo, etc. When you slide the mouse over the buttons, you will see circling star. There is also music in the background.

Unfortunately, the collection of these 19 flash sites ends. Next, you’ll see the ordinary, but attractive designs. The reason is that I wanted to build a larger article.
