Theming Gwibber
Current themes are installed in /usr/share/gwibber/UI directory. Personal additions should go to /home/ username /.local/share/gwibber/ui/themes
New themes may be installed here, though precautions should be taken - copy the whole UI directory to UI.bak before playing in here!. It is very easy to make a bookmark in Nautilus to go back and restore it later.
The simplest method of theming Gwibber is to copy one theme to the .local/share/gwibber/ui/themes directory, and then simply edit and/or replace or insert a file 'bak.png' being an image file to be used for the background.
If you have trouble with gwibber and themes, run this in terminal to get it started with default theme:
Code: gconftool-2 --type string -s "/apps/gwibber/preferences/theme" "default"
Replies
Association with another tweet/dent
Many users incorrectly assume that clicking on a reply arrow, but then removing the @username should dissociate the post.
This is incorrect. Gwibber's intended behaviour is that you can reference another tweet/dent via the in_reply_to link without requiring the @username entry. This enables you to do thinks like RT and via @username and matches the behaviour of the web interface.
If you wish to remove the association you should click the 'Cancel' button to the right of the input field.
Display Issues
Recently I had complaints from Gwibber users that they cannot use 'tinyarrow' URL's shrunk using the http://tinyarro.ws/ service. Typical formats might appear like this: www.➡.ws/䑸 which does not always display correctly and may or may not be available as a clickable link - depending upon which application is being used.
Should this occur, simply cut and paste the url into your browser address bar.
About Workspaces
Currently, Gwibber only restores itself to the original workspace - and so minimising to the taskbar will not allow access on another workspace unless you are able to set the window to appear in all workspaces - then the taskbar icon will always capture and release Gwibber to the current (actually ALL) workspace.
Performance Issues
Occasionally I have experienced issues with freezing when pasting to the text box in Gwibber. Should you experience any difficulties in this area, then initially go to the Gwibber>preferences and disable the Experimental features (currently 'Automatically Shorten Pasted URLs). Performance in this area may be affected by connectivity issues at times.
Preferences are available through the taskbar icon's right click menu. To restart (with information available in the terminal) simply restart from the terminal:
Code: killall gwibber |wait 5 |gwibber
(it is possible to create a launcher for your panel/menu/desktop using this command)
