uploaded 0.2.2-5 to extras-devel.
preferences now updated. if you have a bit.ly account and api key you can get url shortening via the main menu.
at the moment any bit.ly urls are automatically expanded. but i'm not sure whether i want to stick with that feature or not.

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

Good work

well 'started' theme support in so far as i have a place to control it from. but i've not figured out any of the workings.

still wondering if there is any better/faster way to render the tweets. if so it would change anything i do theme wise.

Get rid of the bubbles the tweets are shown in. They're useless and just plain look ugly. I would even just go with the way conversations does IM... and chances are that no longer drawing the bubbles would solve your slow redrawing.

ugly or not, removing them has a negligible effect on performance.
i think gtk and cairo are just not fast enough from python. either that or i have a lot of badly performing code (entirely possible)
wondering if can get some sensible performance tests going.

Personally I think the theme support is a waste of time...the basic controls you have already provided are fine...but you should consider coding it in such a way so that when people do updates, their colour preferences are remembered, and not discarded as presently are.

Focusing on rendering the tweets faster I do think is a good move, that and making the scrolling smoother.

Still would love to see avatars...nudge nudge

Rather than themes, make them go with the theme of the cellphone. This is FeedingIt listing, and I have the marina theme installed, looks quite smooth doesn't it.

I think its better witter synergizes with the cellphone theme than create its own theming concept.

again, an idea, love the software. keep up the good work

EDIT: avatars and smoother scrolling if you can

the colour preferences are supposed to be saved rather than discarded. there are values set in the /home/user/.witter file.
i'd be interested in the output fm running witter at commandline if you find it's not storing your colour preferences.

any idea how to hook into the phones theme? is feedingit a python app? i guess i can look into it. but any pointers on how to use and react to themes would be cool
