Latest version on devel, installed it this morning (0.3.8-14).

I'll try it again when I get home - slow response could be due to my mobile internet connection actually. But might be worth checking if someone else has the closed but still in background issue.

Looks like the theme directories are broken best bet for trying a quick fix would be to uninstall and reinstall.

I'll look into the problem when I get a chance. I've got a new version in extras-devel with some bug fixes coming, got to tidy it up this week and I should have it into testing soon.

Sorry to be that late here but wanted to say that I had the same problem. The workaround is easy: Removing the witter.conf file will help. As user configuration is not deleted, reinstalling will lead to nowhere.
Editing witter.conf and manually entering another theme than Ayro is probably also working but I did not try this.

I just wanted to say that it's really nice to see members of the community having picked up the challenge of continuing to develop witter. Although I jumped ship to android, and have had no real time for app development, I do sometimes miss working on it. I'll have to get my wife to download the latest version (she has the n900 now) and see how it's coming along.
I just happened to check the download stats and saw that it's now been downloaded >250k times.

Thanks again for keeping the project alive.

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.

Yes, I've seen it bring up a banner for new tweets loaded when the app had been quit ages ago - went to the app-switcher screen immediately after I saw the banner and witter definitely wasn't there. Never used to do that, and I've only seen it once, just a week ago or so from the latest (0.3.8-17) version. Going to upgrade to -18 now.

Thanks very much SpandexBob for your work on this, its fixed a few bugs!

A couple more I've seen recently - the window stack handling seems to be a little worse than the last version Daniel released, sometimes it gets confused and needs multiple 'back' clicks; the newer windows perhaps aren't tidying up the stack properly or something happens in between them appearing and being closed which confuses them.

Also when you use multiple accounts, if you switch a different account to be active when you're looking at one account's tweet page (whichever tab you're in), it doesn't update the home screen with the main stats on for the new account, and I'm not sure if it updates the tweets for the new account either.

I should probably file these on garage... (but bet I won't).

Yeah I've seen this it seems to be related to the threading. Witter tries to close all the threads on close but getting tweets is a slow process so it can get stuck still working away on that thread. Once the process is finished the thread closes but you still get the banner.

I've seen this issue as well, I don't think the windows are being cleaned up properly. I'm working on a reliable way to recreate this issue so that I can properly debug it.

I don't use multiple accounts so thanks for bringing this up, I'll look into it.

It would be great if you could but I've seen them here so no problem.

I can no longer "uncheck" the location box. Since I spend most of my time listening to podcasts over bluetooth, adding the GPS radios gives me ~ 3 hours of battery :-( When I try to uncheck, the box highlights blue, but stays checked and seems to lock up.

I recently re-installed Witter after deleting the .witter files. Did I miss one? Is there another way to fix this?

Thanks

I uninstalled Witter;
" rm -r ./witter* "
re-installed witter

No Joy - still cannot uncheck "location"
