Hey dwould, I'm down to build you some custom icons if you'd like. Drop me a pm with the specs and I'll get started.

Thanks

if anyone knows a better event handle to use, please let me know

Oh ok. I guess that's how it works

Yes

As each result seems to be a list item on its own it would come in handy to open the corresponding search tweet by a single click and hold (or, more trendy these days, a double click

) instead of showing the search HTTP request (which is completely inconvenient to use anyway imho).

thanks for the offer. my plan is to figure out a way to be able to switch icon sets, and support a relatively simple way for people to basically make icon themes. i will certainly let you know the details once I've figured them out.

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.

Question, is 0.3.1-9 worthy of Extras? I'm aware that there are still a fair number of people who would not go near extras-testing.
Is Witter now good enough for that? or are people still experiencing random instability or serious usability problems?
I realise there are plenty of other features to develop, but I am now interested in stabalising the code for long enough to get a version into Extras, before implementing new stuff.

Oh, you need a bitly account to use it? I thought it worked like tweetdeck

UPDATE: bitly working good. Just tried it. You should push it to extras. We have to vote for it, right? Where at?

I think it is
It is as good or if not better than ubertwitter and that's a lot. The aesthetic elements of it might be a bit meh but it works and that is all that matters.

yeah, when I set out to add support I didn't realise I needed to require an id, but I think this way it tracks the urls' you've shortened, and gives you stats or some such.

I wonder if they'd give me an id for witter as an application so I could just do it that way....

you probly already know all this, but I might as well post it anyway.

haven't checked your code, but I simply validate the event like so:
if event.type == gtk.gdk._2BUTTON_PRESS:
and it works fine.
you get 3 events from a doubleclick. the first click gives gtk.gdk._BUTTON_PRESS and the second gives gtk.gdk._BUTTON_PRESS and gtk.gdk._2BUTTON_PRESS. you can set the speed required to register a doubleclick. I don't remember exactly how, but it's in the ref manual.

if you're using Qt then I have no idea, but it might be similar.
