Twitterlight has been updated with some new features that really up the usability of the app.
http://www.twitterlight.com

-
Defaulted the view to Public, so non-Twitter users can see data on page load
-
Added profile pics back in
-
Added link to Twitter page on username
-
Made some massive changes to how the app's structure reorganizes:
- Moved to Grid wrapper to support dynamic resizing
- Removed C1 combobox due to bug (couldn't locate parent canvas, as it's now a grid)
- Added Erik Klimczak's animating wrap panel to handle animating tweet movement between positions (He claimed a mERIKle on this one)
- On resize, tweets lose some opacity if they don't cleanly fit on the screen... when resized back to larger size, tweets come back alive (disabled for Safari on Windows)
- Added a zoom slider, mostly for fun, but because sometimes you just need to see a profile picture a little better... or free up some real estate
This has become a work in progress, so let me know if you have features you'd like to see. Some are:
- Make password textbox actually a password textbox
- store tweet history for paging back through older tweets
- store username and/or pw
- Add reply/direct messaging shortcuts
thanks for the help on this, especially Josh Holmes for his suggestions.
