Unfortunately, AIR does not yet support the custom scrollbar functionality that is available in the recent versions of Webkit. The hideous grey scrollbars can't be changed. :( Sorry. Hopefully Adobe will include this in the next version of AIR.

Mr Ewok. Indeed, that's annoying, ain't it? The best way to solve it is to edit the assets/snitter.css file and remove line 158 (you should see border:blue there). Alternatively, it can be solved with a user style:

.items *:nth-child(2) {border:none;}

This'll override the style that's currently set. This will be fixed in the next version (although, it'll be awhile before it gets released).

Jonathan Snook asked a question in Brightkite on November 24, 2008 14:41:

Prevent spam by only allowing message feature to connections

I recently got spammed by verababy and realized that it'd be nice to have an option to only be able to accept messages (since they're sent via email) from people that I've explicitly accepted. As it is now, there's not much stopping somebody from creating a junk account and then sending direct message spam to everybody.

Jonathan Snook replied on July 04, 2008 07:14 to the problem "I can't get snitter to work anymore" in Snitter:

When AIR updated to 1.1 it screwed up something. I've been too busy to get things updated, unfortunately, and it'll likely be a couple more weeks, at least, before I can get a new version out. Sorry. Best I can suggest at this point is giving Twhirl a whirl.

Jonathan Snook shared an idea in Skribit on July 03, 2008 20:51:

It'd be nice to set a status on a suggestion

It'd be nice to set a status on a suggestion such as "requested" (by default), "working on it", and "Sorry, no" Declined suggestions maybe don't appear on the widget but people who click through to Skribit see it.

Jonathan Snook replied on March 21, 2008 20:52 to the problem "Snitter not positioning at top of screen." in Snitter:

The app is respecting the menu bar (as I understand it) but that also includes the sizable drop shadow (likely the cause of the gap).

Jonathan Snook replied on March 21, 2008 20:50 to the question "Error message with the latest version of Snitter (0.028)." in Snitter:

It's possible that the old database might need to be removed if it hasn't already.

It's likely that the Snurl service was down. It's happened from time to time but I'll try and improve the error messaging so that this is clearer.

Jonathan Snook replied on March 21, 2008 20:48 to the problem "Why does the wrong name appear for direct messages?" in Snitter:

I originally thought it'd be more informative to know who the message was sent to, since that information wasn't there, but it's definitely confusing people so it'll most likely change in the next version

Jonathan Snook set one of Jonathan Snook's replies as an official response to "No snitter service since upgrade" in Snitter

Jonathan Snook replied on March 21, 2008 20:47 to the question "No snitter service since upgrade" in Snitter:

You likely have to remove the existing database. In Windows, this is located in C:\documents and settings\yourloginname\Application Data\Snitter.88C687E32FFE9452F058A6F4E67005F998FC3136.1\Local Store\snitter.db.

I'm not sure where this is located on a Mac but a search for snitter.db should find it. Delete that and then restart the application and you should be all set.

Jonathan Snook replied on February 04, 2008 16:02 to the question "How do I get my friends and followers to load in the appropriate tabs?" in Snitter:

It does seem to be a little flaky but I'm not getting any error messages. I'll look into it further.

Jonathan Snook replied on February 04, 2008 15:51 to the problem "How can I resize Snitter? And random crashes" in Snitter:

The random crashing I don't have any control over but will hopefully be resolved when AIR hits 1.0.

As for the resize, there's a resize point in the bottom right hand corner (looks like two diagonal white lines). Click and drag and that point should resize the window. You won't see the resize cursor – an unfortunate limitation of AIR.

Jonathan Snook replied on January 28, 2008 04:50 to the problem "proxy" in Snitter:

I've heard rumour that you can install a JRE and set proxy settings through there (part of the AIR runtime runs on Java). Check out http://www.java.com/en/download/help/... to see if that helps.

I've set up this temp page for now. It uses the Flash badge installer. Let me know if that works. :)

Are you trying to install the .027 dev version? (and pardon my mac ignorance here but...) if so, do you just open the link or are you saving the file locally? (although I'd suspect it should matter either way)

Does it go through the install process? or, instead of installing, it just shows the contents as a folder?

Jonathan Snook replied on January 21, 2008 05:23 to the question "Installing Snitter installs a folder without a program app" in Snitter:

are you on Windows or a Mac? I take it you're seeing folders like js, assets, etc? In the root of that folder, do you see index.html? are you seeing everything but the Snitter executable?
