‘Twitter Facelift’ brief-up for ‘Cameo tweeters’
‘Twitter facelift’ is nothing new for those who tweet regularly.
But there are a lot many guys known as”Cameo tweeters” who give a special appearance(by tweeting) on Twitter once in a month or so.
So this brief-up is dedicated to all the ‘Cameo tweeters’ out there to give them a reason for another special appearance at twitter.

Tabs on the right
The tabs have been reallocated from top side to right column.This has been done for ease of further addition of access tabs.
Less Cluttered
You hover over an update and you will start seeing Star,Reply or Delete icons.However,there are some other similar less significant changes(rounding corners etc) like this but they all as a package,make the interface look well spaced.
Better customization
One prominent feature added during this facelift is a design customizer, which comes under Settings/Design section.You can choose from few pre-designed themes and can also add your pinch of creativity to it
