I just deleted my account and re-created it with the new password, but that's a far messier way of doing it.

There should definitely be a way to update your password in Tweetie directly. In fact, ideally Tweetie should pop-up and prompt you for a new password when authentication fails, either proactively, or at least in response to clicking on the "Error" message at the bottom of the Tweetie window.

A comment on the idea "Growl integration" in atebits:

You can already do this in your Growl preferences. Simply go in to your Growl preference panel, choose Tweetie on the "Applications" tab and you can choose different notification preferences for tweets, mentions or DMs. – Jesse David Hollington, on May 06, 2009 22:18

A comment on the problem "Timeline and mentions should be in sync" in atebits:

I'd agree with this as well, actually. This has been an issue for me in both Tweetie on the Mac and the iPhone, although at least the Mac version has a notification dot -- on the iPhone itself there were many times I missed new replies/mentions *entirely* because they didn't show up in the main timeline. – Jesse David Hollington, on May 05, 2009 14:27

A comment on the idea "Growl notifications: use username as the title instead of "new tweet", "new mention" etc." in atebits:

Well, I'm seeing inconsistent behavior with the avatars, but for me the notifications are *always* titled "New Tweet" (or "New Mention" or whatever). – Jesse David Hollington, on May 05, 2009 14:24

I'm seeing the same thing. I think the icon/avatar issue is a bug that will hopefully be fixed in a future update, rather than a design choice. – Jesse David Hollington, on May 05, 2009 14:23

Jesse David Hollington replied on May 05, 2009 14:21 to the question "bring back the old highlight!" in atebits:

I may get used to it, but the problem I'm having with the new highlight style is that it make the selected Tweet appear *too* prominently -- it looks like it's a mention or DM as opposed to simply the selected tweet, and as a result is very visually distracting.

Although I don't mind the current light-blue style for mentions, I'd suggest that the style for mentions should be more emphasized than the style for the selected tweet.

A comment on the idea "Growl integration" in atebits:

I get a whole slew of old notificaitons whenever I restart Tweetie, but it otherwise seems to behave fine as long as I leave it running. – Jesse David Hollington, on May 05, 2009 13:56

A comment on the idea "Growl integration" in atebits:

While I'm happy to see Growl integration added, I'm hoping that the next version tweaks the notifications a bit to make them more informative. In particular, I think it's *very* important that the Growl notifications include the use name rather than simply "New Tweet"

Further, I'm seeing user avatars show up for notifications from some users, but not all. I'm guessing this may be a bug at this point, since it's inconsistent behaviour. – Jesse David Hollington, on May 05, 2009 13:55

George's reply to "Growl integration" was just promoted to the most useful! Jesse David Hollington and 6 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Hmmm, the new Growl integration in 1.1 is very... odd. Growl titles aren't usernames (instead they are all titled "New Mention", etc.), and so far I just get a generic Tweetie icon in stead of the user icon.

The SIMBL workaround someone posted here worked much better (usernames as Growl notice titles, actual user icons), although I like the per-account notification settings in the official implementation.
