Twitterlight updated with animating wrap panel

Twitterlight has been updated with some new features that really up the usability of the app.

twitterlight screen shot

  • 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.
