Even better than with the old code. Happy! <3
I LOVE this post - you summed up EXACTLY how I feel about this whole stupid mess!!!
I LOVE this post!! You have summed-up exactly how I feel about this whole stupid mess!! Too bad no one at Twitter seems to be actually READING or ACTING ON the multitude of complaints!!! I am one MAD developer who will not be recommending Twitter to my clients!!!
Nearly ALL of the CSS customization I could do before is now GONE.
With the API v1 script, I could style every single element of the panel. I could make each tweet dance in its own bubble on my site. I could give alternating tweets different colors. The fonts could match the fonts of the page. I could knock out the background. I could dispense with the border entirely. I had absolute control over my scrollbar. I could set my own width, as small or as big as I wanted. Anything was possible and I did a lot of awesome things with my twitter panel.
Now, with this new twitter script, I have this big f’ing brick-of-a-box on my site that’s IMPERVIOUS to styling.
You have taken something away from me, the designer, and I am damn mad about it.
I was hoping the Facebook panel would start to go in the direction of styling freedom like the Twitter panel. Instead, Twitter devs have followed in the douchebag anti-designer footsteps of Facebook developers, opting to put me in the same straightjacket Facebook wants me in.
Well, a pox on you, Twitter devs. You forced me to have this conversation with about three dozen clients over the past eight weeks:
“Yes, I am aware your twitter stream isn’t there anymore. I’m so sorry, I had to remove it”
…
“Well, you see, Twitter made the old script not work anymore, and the new script could not be styled to match your page like the old one. Also, the little icons could not be made invisible. The whole panel had to go. So I had to remove it. Again, I’m sorry.”
…
“No, like I said, the new twitter widget cannot be styled. That means it will stand out like a sore thumb in the sidebar. We won’t be able to make it display the way it used to. The new panel was a detriment to the site, so it had to go.”
…
“No, I’m sorry, I don’t know why they did this.”
…
"No, I don’t believe they would be willing to reimburse you for the development costs to style the twitter panel. I’m afraid that money is in the toilet.

While the new embedded timeline widgets do not have the customization options you’re after, you still have other options.
There is still a rich REST API that returns the data you would need to construct a timeline that you could customize the presentation of within the allowances of the [node:142].
It takes programming skills to accomplish, but the door is not closed to you.
Hi guys, this is really helpful but I’m looking at adjusting the width and height. How can i do this? I want my tweet to be about 750 pixels wide and 30 pixels high. Is this possible in the new version.
9 weeks and 5 days ago, Twitter screwed countless developers and their sites with its rigid and unilateral new API, dictating the look and feel of tweets around the world with an arbitrary one-style-fits all decree. There’s been plenty of time for Twitter to have embraced its stakeholders and modified its totalitarian stance.
But like so many other dictatorial regimes, Twitter has adopted a strategy of ignoring dissent while continuing to stifle self-expression. Coupled with the humiliation of Twitter’s Vine by Instagram, the trend seems clear. Twitter has lost its edge, its goodwill, and the loyalty of those who helped built its preeminence. Its days of being the good guys are done.
This is a totally backward move for Twitter. I don’t want images, and un-stylable Twitter dictated feed in my website, I just want a simple latest post in text with a link.
This means that me along with probably millions of others will no longer have a Twitter feed on their website, which will harm twitter more than its users.
Don’t be silly Twitter, allow access to an API again.
I am trying to set a custom width and height to my widget and it does not seem to have any affect. Other customizations such as data-chrome=“nofooter” working. What am I doing wrong?
Here’s my embed code:

The website, in case you’d care to see, is http://themoonshow.com
I’m trying to make the widget fit the width of the surrounding field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
On your site the widget can’t be larger because It’s in a div of width 240 pixels, but that div has a padding of 20 pixels on both sides so it can only use 200 pixels.
I am working on my site offline and none of the offered solutions work.
Adding “http://” only resolves issue for an hour.
“add domain” option does not exist:

BUMP BUMP BUMP
Apparently I’ve figured that the lang=“ru” attribute is triggering this bug.
Removing lang=“ru” from the <a …> tag seems to resolve and fixes the issue.
Actually I was wrong - the above solution is only a temporary solution - in about an hour the problem reappears.
