AlexTootchie tweeted it and I happened to be doing something which meant I had more than the conventional repos enabled at the time. I took it as a sign that I was supposed to go get it.
I'm still working out what all the buttons are for, but it's dead nifty. And it found and collected my regular search without needing refreshing. (#n900 as you might have guessed!)
Love the update!
Love the ability to get more than the previous default 20 tweets, can now get up to two hundred...
Love the fact I can now see my user history...
Love the full screen mode...
Only points I note:
- When viewing the timeline after a while, and scrolling, it sometimes struggles to redraw itself fast enough, so the initial scrolling action comes across jumpy....after that then scrolls and looks good.
- Would still like to see some user avatars
Overall, that it a huge improvement, and I hope you continue as it is very much appreciated.
odly enough it's pretty much a side effect that you get your own user history if you hit refresh with nothing in the entry box. i wrote it to get at the history of anyone else i come accross. hence you get 'history' buttons for anyone mentioned in a tweet.

still need to see if there is anything i can do about performance. obviously now you can quickly load many more tweets you can quickly give it lots of work to do.
Just one thought - and I know it's trivial! I've seen people on twitter moaning that they don't like the electric blue. Perhaps when you've done the important things, a couple of theme/colour options would be a pretty addition. Yeah, I know it's cosmetic, but I see people saying it.
I think you're approaching the point of knocking the 'port gravity' cry on the head once and for all. Personally I prefer the idea of something that's a Maemo app from its toes up.

ok, so I also noticed people complaining about the colour. I happen to like it since it is the same as the OS window buttons. However. I have just implemented a fairly crude ability for people to select their own two colours to form a gradient for the background to tweets.
However before I upload a new verison I also wanted to hook into the volume rocker events to allow the text font size to be changed.
Anyone got any idea how I do that? they don't seem to register as on_key_press events
ok so i still haven't figured out how to gwt zoom events. however i have uploaded 0.2.2-2 with basic support for changing the background colour gradient. with 2 buttons in the menu. each launch a colour picker. you have to get the colour you want in the pallet and which ever is selected when you hit ok is picked.
it sometimes takes a scroll to force a redraw event.
your colours are saved in /home/user/.witter
also font size is stored there and can be changed by hand.
oops...somehow managed to get the ui file out of step wiith the code...this is what i get for coding until late then throwing it into autobuilder and going to bed before testing it.
0.2.2-3 is on it's way through and hopefully resolves the issue.
this also answers the question for kjmackey...you*should*seethe0.2.2 stream when you have extras-devel enabled. clearly ohers do see it. however, it is the devel repo and sometimes i screw up. so if you don't want to suddenly find thinga broken for a bit, stay with extras-testing. once i've had enough good feedbacck that things are ok i'll promote ro extras-testing
