04.Jun.2009 Preview the new Twitterfountain!
Recently we’ve been working on updating the Twitterfountain. We’re looking for ways to make the application cleaner and at the same time provide more options to customize its look and animations.
To summarize the updates we’ve done so far:
- a cleaner look and feel of the whole application
- a less intrusive title bar
- a cleaner ‘settings’ panel, with tabs for messages, images and embedding options.
- option for animation style of twitter messages
- option for showing a background box behind the twitter message
As you can see from this screenshot, you can achieve a very clean looking app. In this case, the background box of the twitter message is disabled, images are disabled, and the animation just fades the messages in and out.
The next screenshot shows the new settings panel, subdivided into tabs. You can also see the option for choosing different message animations. Currently you can choose between the ‘old’ vertical animation, and a more subtle fading animation.
When the new version is finished all “old” twitterfountains running on websites, blogs and events will automatically be replaced by the new one. Backwards compatibility should be ensured.
Comments and suggestions are more than welcome!
