A feature that I would greatly appreciate is integration with something like tinyurl. I'm more likely to Twitter URLs if I'm using a client where I don't have to leave the client to make it shorter

I should mention I have not experienced any performance issues in this latest build.

Is there a minimize feature when I can minimize it to the bottom bar, just like TwitterFox?

I became to twitter some days ago and I'm happy having this Opera widget - it was too unconfortable to have a FireFox and Twitter plugin open just to post to Twitter.

Just one thing. Could you put a "Minimalize" button into top right corner? It would be useful for me. Good job anyway!

valdineidossantos, press the "Post" button, right over the main tab bar to the right.

By hzr, # Aug 9, 2008 9:12:51 AM

How do I write a new post? I can only respond to others

Thanks,

Hey moirob.

I'm the developer of the widget so I can answer your questions

First off, yes, the latest tweet is chopped to prevent it from overflowing the top part, so this is intentional.
And yes, the public timeline was removed in this widget, mostly to make the interface less crowded. Most people only follow their friends anyway. If there's a huge demand for it, that feature might be re-introdiced.

BTW, the final version of 2.0 is probably coming out next week, so stay tuned. It has some new features.

By hzr, # Aug 8, 2008 9:03:25 PM

Also didn't the last version have a public view? Will that be coming back in future versions? It appears to be missing.

By moirob, # Aug 8, 2008 7:27:53 PM

Ah thanks for that hzr. I noticed they had a auto update but I was trying to find a easier way of manually updating instead of refreshing the whole widget.

Also Has anyone else noticed that with using the newest version of this widget, after posting quite a lengthy tweet that the whole comment doesn't show up properly in the top bar near the avatar?
The tweet shows up fine on twitter.com and also in my archives. It's just on the top bar it is cropped. Even if I resize the widget it is still cropped.
