Heya!

I tried Witter when it was in it's first versions and noticed that when you do the Authentication with Twitter you need to enter the oddly named "Twitter credentials".

The problem is that you can't CTRL + Backspace out of the app to see the number in Twitter.

Also, I think the whole "Twitter credentials" is a bit confusing and not very intuititive as to what it means.

Otherwise it's a great app!

Sorry I have not read through the thread.. but:
If I run the twitpic-function and change my mind and exit it again.. and then try twitpic again.. I only get a white display and it doesn't work..

Is that a known bug?

Any suggestions?

If you would add the "More" options that appear when you hit the "+" in the end of the message list - you would gain a free spot for a button to toggle the text box. Hiding the text box would give you the same amount of screen space as fullscreen does now meaning you might even drop the fullscreen button as well. Thus the two right most buttons would be "New tweet" and "Refresh".

This would work even better if you moved the main buttons to the bottom of the screen and the text box would open above it. The buttons would be closer to the thumbs and the top and bottom areas of the screen would be balanced. And if you would display the text box automatically when the user starts typing.

Examples included.

currently it doesn't do paging, it's not impossible to do. Just haven't gotten around to it. It requires a bit more code and thought to handle that case.

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.

I honestly don't know what causes this, I'm probably doing something wrong with gtk. It happens to all dialog boxes with input fields, as opposed to stacked windows etc.
I'm open to suggestions on what causes this and how I might fix it.

how about keeping only 4 icons on the left, and an options menu. Keep tweets, replies, messages and all the other in a more button.

then in portrait mode, keep 4 at the bottom?

again, just a random suggestion. pardon any grammar mistakes, i am high. love the app man

I suppose I could capture keypresses to raise the the input field. and hide on scrolling, but that would mean needing to put refresh somewhere.
Not sure about icons along the bottom

In any case at the moment I'm trying to stabilise the code to push a new update into extras, so I don't want to push any big changes for the moment.

Technically I have no idea - I'm a UI designer - not a programmer. But that's where they 'belong'

If you checkout the pics that I made there is a 'refresh' button on the right side of the toolbar. As I said - moving the 'more' options to the end of the messagelist and eliminating the need for fullscreen frees up two buttons. In their place would be the text box toggle ('new tweet') and refresh.

If you get a chance make a private test with the icons on the bottom. You'll see that it's very handy - especially when you've got the keyboard open. Also if you were to remove the button graphics and replace them with only icons this would give skin makers even more possibilities.

But as you said stabilizing the code is key. Witter is already a remarkable piece of work especially while it's free. I'm just hoping that somewhere along the line there will be time to add some visual tweaks here and there to polish it it up
