Twitter has a neat little trick (or treat) depending how you look at it, today to celebrate Halloween!

It's a bit specific though so listen up...

If you tweet #trick or #treat from your Twitter homepage, but just one or the other and not from a Twitter client, not both of them, then your background will change into a Halloween design. Apparently the avatars will change to something ghoulish, but that didn't happen for us (humph).

But again, only tweet #trick or #treat, not both of them or it won't work (trust us, we tried).

We've posted what our background changed to - Happy Halloween!!

If you choose #trick - it gives it a "28 days later" temporary background and then everything starts turning ghoulish, with the previous tweets from the people you follow turning into "BRAIIIINS" and things of the sort. After a few seconds, it all goes back to normal.If you type in #treat, it gives you the Halloween background.
