I'd like to know what options there are to customise a cartodb torque timeline control. I've seen awesome visualisations made with CartoDB/Torque for FIFA '14 matches by twitterdata ( for instance http://cartodb.com/v/worldcup/match/?TC=x&vis=31ed2e2a-06ce-11e4-8c1d-0e230854a1cb&h=t&t=Brazil,FFCC00%7CGermany,B40903&m=7%2F8%2F2014%2017:00:00%20GMT,7%2F8%2F2014%2018:52:00GMT&g=108%7C11,23,24,26,29,87,97#/2/-17.6/-5.6/0 ).

From trying to read that code I inferred that twitter data created a modified Torque to do just that.

Before going in that direction, what are the best ways to customise Torque Timeline controls?

What I specifically want to achieve is have a graph displayed above the timeline that 'guides' the user as to when events happen. In this example: https://emileaben.cartodb.com/viz/6a6d789c-8430-11e4-a483-0e4fddd5de28/public_map , there is an event at around 7:32 CEST (lots of red dots in the US, representing Internet connectivity going down), and having a graph with number of events over time, on the timeline axis would really help guide users to what is going on.

Yes, the FIFA 14 Torque map was created using Twitter data. CartoDB can import data directly from Twitter api.

About Torque with graphs, you can check a great example in this link.
