Twitter just removed your homepage wallpaper, and people are furious

If Twitter.com is looking a little different right now, it's not just you.
The company has removed wallpapers from users' home and notifications timelines on Twitter.com Monday, Twitter confirmed Monday. Users now see a stark all-white background in place of their usual customized backgrounds, when viewing their profile, notifications and main timeline.

"We’re removing background images from the home and notifications timelines on web for all users," a Twitter spokesperson told Mashable Monday. "Now, background images are only available where logged-in users will see them publicly (Tweet pages, list pages and collections pages). You can find help center content about customizing your design and where it’s visible on Twitter here."
Twitter's preset backgrounds or users' customized wallpapers are replaced with a solid white background that many are calling "blinding white." Previously, users were able to change the background image on their profile, which also showed up as their wallpaper elsewhere on Twitter's website.
