The biggest update so far for Twixiee is out on the main boxee repository. Just launch the app from boxee to get the update.
Hope you like it!
New in release 3.3:
- Trend definitions from What The Trend?. Select a trend in the right hand list and a speech bubble pops up after a few seconds.
- Menu moved completely to the left "drawer". No more scrolling up to the top to access menu items.
- A user status box replaces the old menu at the top. It shows portrait, name, number of tweets, following and followers.
- Highlighting of links, names and hash tags in the main tweet list.
- Links, names and hash tags are available in the menu for further drill down.
- Clicking a link will launch the boxee browser
- Clicking a hash tag will search for tweets with that tag.
- Clicking a username gives the options to follow, unfollow, search or reply to the user.
- Pop-up mode. If media is playing when launching Twixiee, the user is presented with the option to switch to "pop-up mode". In this mode the media will play in full screen and new tweets will pop up in the upper left corner. There is also a new menu item for this.
- 'Fixed scolling' and dimming of non focused tweets to make the reading experience more enjoyable.
Known issues in release 3.3:
- Twitpic images are blank in the 'all pics' panel. I'm working to resolve this, but the images can also be viewed individually through the boxee browser.
