I use the avatars all the time to scan through large amount of twits to read the ones I really are interested in. I don't go around remembering usernames, I remember their pictures. For me this is a really important feature
the new draggable tweet area seems to have redraw issues, resulting in one having to stop to see what the new entries are. Also, it fails to detect when witter is not full screen, resulting in text going beyond the edge. On top of that, one can drag the area outside of the left and right edge even in full screen, resulting in a lot of extra scrolling if one can't manage to drag in a straight line...
i wonder if one would be better off putting the input area at the bottom, with the different categories up top. As it is right now i keep hitting the friends button when going for the refresh, also having refresh in a corner helped hitting it, thanks to the raised edge the N800 has around the screen
mece , I see you mentioned there are auto notifications? How are these reported as I don't get anyone on my device?
Also are their any plans for a widget if there are no notifications?
It's not auto. I meant the notification object. the yellow banner that appear when you tweet. What I suggested was that notifications could appear when you get mentioned.

I agree that it would be useful to have avatars included. Not of highest priority for me though, and definately would have to be optional. A lot more traffic using avatars, especially in search. (avatars in regular timelines would be cached, since it's the same people)
Cool I second, that, I would also like to beable to have the yellow thingy come up when you get mentioned :-) or maybe even select if you want it for mentions direct messages or all.

I'm afraid all the issues of the kinetic scrolling on n8*0 will be down to the mokui library. I don't think I get much control. though I confess I've not read up on it. so unless someone can suggest a betterkinetic scroll library the best I can offer is to switch back to a regular scrolled window.
as for layout change. next thing on my hit list is cell renderers and layout changes. we shall see how far I get.

Nice to pick whcih one
generally, it would be helpful if people could raise feature ideas against the witter garage project. by all means mention them here. but there is a chance I'll read them, like the idea, but forget it by the time I'm thinking about what comes next.
Whilst garage is down for maintenance and I can't upload the latest version.
I tried to re-arrange a little, and force the buttons into hildonButton-finger style.
I also set a background colour to the cells in the treeview.
I'm not sure it's much better, but opinions are welcome. http://twitpic.com/t33mz
I have started to look at custom cell renderers as an option to actually make it look nicer. but the learning curve is pretty steep.

Looks cool .. glad you moved the refresh button to the other side
