Yeah, the dimming of the avatar would go a LONG way in solving the problem. Currently, EventBox does this and it's a whole lot easier on the eyes to quickly see what you've read already.

Feedly: 2 different GUIs - how?

I'm not sure why, but Feedly looks completely different in Firefox 3.5.3 on two different Macs I'm running it on.

I love the look of it on my MacBook Pro, with the black navigation bar across the top - photo here:

But on my Mac Pro, running the same OS version, same Firefox browser version, and same version of the Feedly extension, it looks like this (no nav bar, with nav in a column on the left:

I prefer the version with the black navigation bar at the top, but I have no idea how it got that way. Any ideas?

When I delete an email, I expect it to be deleted. As in gone forever, no sign of it, zip, zero, nothing. Yet when I delete emails with OtherInbox, they simply get moved to a "Deleted" folder where they appear to remain forever.


How do you truly DELETE an email?

Oh please. Tweetie has a LONG way to go before it can even get in an ass-kicking contest with TweetDeck, let alone win.

Until Tweetie has groups, it's always going to be considered an "also-ran" - no matter how beautiful it is!

Jim replied on June 04, 2009 13:39 to the problem "1.2.0 update not working w/ Safari 4 beta" in Xmarks:

I've determined that you can still use Xmarks for Safari if you turn off the two features in the "Discovery" tab of the Xmarks for Safari prefs panel. Bookmark syncing still works, and Safari works as normal once you do so.

Not sure if this is truly a SIMBL-related problem or what, because it just started happening with the latest update to Xmarks

Jim reported a problem in Xmarks on June 04, 2009 13:21:

1.2.0 update not working w/ Safari 4 beta

Latest update (v 1.2.0) breaks Safari 4 beta. I get a "Cannot load Xmarksplugin plugin" error, and a SIMBL error when launching Safari - which then crashes and requires a force-quit of Safari.

Uninstalling the Xmarks for Safari plugin fixes Safari crash

A comment on the idea "Adding Groups or Stacks to Tweetie for Mac" in atebits:

TweetDeck, Seesmic, Twirl, EventBox and a number of other Twitter Clients have managed to add groups - despite the technology supposedly "not being there." Maybe I should have used "ability" or "capability" or some other word. The point is, Groups is possible - and it works perfectly without an official API - so there's nothing stopping Loren but himself. – Jim, on May 30, 2009 18:16

Can't really tell which Tweets are dimmed anyway, so it probably doesn't matter one way or the other.

Jim replied on May 27, 2009 11:29 to the problem "mark all as read dosn't change tweet visual design" in atebits:

Yeah, Tweetie is really bad for usability in this area. TweetDeck and EventBox have it right. The entire user icon and Tweet are dimmed to about 25-30%, so that it's still readable, but clear that the Tweet has already been read.

Jim replied on May 27, 2009 11:26 to the idea "Tweet selection colour in v1.2 is not visible enough." in atebits:

Agreed. This white shade is practically useless as it is - I can barely see it. Background needs to be darker, or the highlight needs to be darker - one or the other. I didn't mind the blue, but a dark gray sounds nice too.
