People often have 'problems' with Twitterfall that are actually just problems with Twitter, so this activity indicator should help indicate that Twitter is slow getting back to you and also give an indication of what is going on behind the scenes. New UI
Previously we used to have 6 different icons for the different actions you might want to perform on a tweet (Reply, Retweet, etc.). Now, when you hover over a tweet you see an arrow. Hovering over that arrow presents a new radial context menu which makes interacting with Twitter a lot clearer and easier. Retweet API
Twitterfall now supports the new retweet API. We've observed all the conflict around this controversial API change so we're doing it a little differently. Retweets will show up in your Twitterfall just like they used to, with the retweeters avatar and the complete text of the tweet - no confusion over different avatars or any UI changes. You can also retweet using the new API simply by clicking 'Retweet' as normal, and then not changing the content of the tweet. If you want to add your own comment, you can, and the system will use the old style of retweeting. Lists support
Finally, we've added support for Twitter lists. This hasn't been fully bug tested, so we appreciate any feedback if you encounter any problems :)
Overall, we hope you like the new features. If you have any feedback or suggestions, be sure to send us an email!
What's new on Twitterfall?
Check out x5315's video covering these new features:
Themes removed
We've removed the selectable themes in an effort to simplify both Twitterfall and the maintaining of Twitterfall. At the same time, we've refined and unified the main theme.Exclusions are now saved This speaks for itself, we've refined our settings-saving, and so Exclusions are now saved between visits to Twitterfall.Activity IndicatorPeople often have 'problems' with Twitterfall that are actually just problems with Twitter, so this activity indicator should help indicate that Twitter is slow getting back to you and also give an indication of what is going on behind the scenes.

I don't care about themes, but I'd like to lighten up the dark background colors. Anything?
