![]() ![]() Update: Rainer Brockerhoff told me that you can actually put an 'RTF ' resource in the resource file, rather than TEXT/styl, so it turns out that this is not the easiest solution. Just remember, this requires NetNewsWire, though I suppose it could be adapted to other PHP-script-compatible platforms. ![]() Go try it out at its home,, where you can learn more details. It adds direct links for you to reply, retweet or view the original tweet's web page. It filters out from people in their tweet stream so you only have to see their original content, not their replies to people you don't know. It recognizes URLs and embeds a thumbnail of the linked image. (The script marks such tweets with # and takes the URL out of the headline, since you don't really need to see the URL there.)īut there are other cool things it does. Now you can subscribe to a twitter feed, and just double-click on the tweet itself to open any single linked URL in the tweet. This bugged me enough that I wrote a script that processes the tweets in a feed (from a particulur user, or a search) and re-links things a bit. I have to click on the short URL in their tweet, because the tweet links to the original tweet page. What's always annoyed me is that, when I see the tweet in NetNewsWire and I want to go to the web page that their tweet links to, I can't just double-click on the news entry. On Twitter, there are some tweeters that have such interesting tweets that I don't want to miss anything of theirs, so I subscribe to the RSS feed of their tweets. Still, it's useful to see it in its uncropped glory notice that there are four windows visible in the background building.) (When originally filing the bug report, I found this version, embedded in this page it's very high in detail but a bit over-sharpened for my taste. Notice the odd horizontal lines in the first image the new image is vastly improved! ![]() Check out the detail of the couple, shown at 100% size. The new version is on the right its colors are richer and it is cropped differently you can see the yellow door on the right, though you see one fewer window in the building in the background.īut you really can see the differences in the details. The new image is awesome.Ĭompare the overall picture at 10,000 feet. I'm pleased to see that Nighthawks has been fixed in Snow Leopard 10.6.3. So, like any programmer would do, I filed a bug report about it. You could even see artifacts from what looked like a broken digital scanner! I got the see the original at the Chicago Art Institute when I was at C4 last year, and I couldn't stand that the Mac, which stands for aesthetics, could have such a horrible image. So while I was pleased to see that Apple included the image (along with several other classic paintings) as desktop backgrounds in Snow Leopard, I was extremely disappointed that the quality of the image was just terrible. ![]()
