The problem i found is a missing "start in" field for the shortcut icon preferences. Just copy and paste or cut & paste the path to "start in" field and icon short cuts will work again. http://twitpic.com/889x3 One more thing, the app doesn’t load from the desktop or quick launch bar icon when clicked.

Very nice App, 2 problems & one update needed.

If you're using ubuntu 8.10 you may be in for some issues with the network manager. For some unknown reason it stops functioning. You will need to manually set you're resolv.conf with your ISP's DNS servers. That file is located in /etc/network/resolv.conf This may not be revelant but i figured i’d post this anyway.

A few suggested improvements tho: 1. Re-sizeable window 2. Auto-refresh setting would be nice- suggest 30 sec. max > 10 mins min 3. notification of new tweets via pop up or colour change on bar when minimized would be nice 4. Minor point- just a style issue- a rounded window box cf. Twitterfox would be visually more appealing Great application- nice job!! A few suggested improvements tho:

The HTTP 400 issues however are quite a hassle and occur more regularly than I'd like. Nevertheless I'll continue to recommend Pwytter as the best cross-platform Twitter client. That being said, doing _anything_ to obfuscate the password in windows would be a gift.

Tow remarks: - if you get many tweeds, you can either extend the list of tweeds to be shown to a larger number, or you always have to follow incoming tweeds in real time in order not to "miss" any. If you extend to a larger number of tweeds to be shown, there is one problem: you can't scroll down. The tweeds disappear out of sight because just about 10 can get displayed on screen. What is that number setting good for if you can't read anything that exceeds about 10 posts? PLEASE include a scrollbar or similar! - TweedDeck has great features such as TinyUrl or automatic shortening of long tweeds (like gr8 for great) and is highly customizable in colums. Its downside is Adobe Air, which makes it non-portable. Could you think about some of the great features of TweedDeck for next versions of Pwytter? Merci et bonne continuation - tiens-moi au courant stp! Alex Hi, great software, I love it.

Take a look at the iPhone App Store - there are a lot of great logo examples in there. Gem-like in quality and simple metaphors for the product it represents. The problem with your proposed icon is that it doesn't really say anything (other than 'ugly as heck'). For this particular application, might I suggest a revisioning of the Python logo with a musical note or something? But subtle. Please. I wholeheartedly agree - that is one awful logo.
