Thread: Want Something Better Than Gwibber For Twitter

i getting frustrated trying find twitter client ubuntu. (and prefer spare myself hassle of air, if that's best option.)

main complaint cannot find single client anywhere working tray icon unread messages. have tried gwibber , without messaging menu installed, , have scoured websites of twitux mixero, , not single 1 admits sort of mechanism showing unread messages. gwibber says -do- include feature, except works not messages, messages directed @ me, @ point reject piece of software trying tell me should doing computer.

(there closed bug reports against gwibber on issue, , response users saying "i want this" developers saying "you shouldn't want that", is...silly beyond belief. there big difference between saying "not enough people want feature justify development time" (which accept) , saying "people wrong want feature" (which not accept).)

want 1) tray icon change colour, or shape, or something, indicate there unread messages, , 2) way, client open, see messages unread , mark them read explicitly. (basically, should work email clients do, read message , marks read.)

howdy,

agree point. don't understand developer saying won't fix or implement, i'm frustrated gwibber ignores replies comments make in facebook. annoying enough in itself.

having said that, on comment of setting air - i'm not sure troubles you're having. 3 minutes ago downloaded adobe .bin installer file, added execution rights , ran file. said yes install, (nothing installed sudo might add, if that's causing grief perhaps), , restarted firefox.

proceeded install tweetdeck keep hearing things about. while think air slower that's not written development platform, installing tweetdeck seemed okay.

instead of saving tweetdeck said "open" installed enough in applications menu, have little icon on notifcation toolbar , when mention @darrennolancom in twitter, i'll let know if icon changes xd

anyway - here's hoping better gwibber.

cheers,
