Quakk Twitter Client - New Beta Build

It took a little longer than I'd hoped to get a new update sorted, and I didn't get as many new features added as I'd have liked, but when it comes to a choice of beers in the sun with the boys, or sitting inside coding, you can guess which one wins out every time.

In this release I managed to get the colours working on replies (they now show up in green); the tweets now automatically resize depending upon how much text is in them; each tweet also displays the date and time it was sent; and you can now send a direct message from the context menu by clicking on a tweet. Behind the scenes I did a lot of tidying up the code, but you don't really care about that do you?

QuakkSetup.cab

Copy the CAB file to your Windows Mobile device and run it, the CAB installer will install Quakk and create a shortcut in your Programs menu.

You might need to download and install the .NET Compact Framework 2 if you're running Windows Mobile 5 - if so, you can download that here.

I don't think there's much more I'll add to Quakk going forward. I'd like to pretty the UI up a bit and try to implement some gradients for your aesthetic pleasure; I'll probably add one or two extra options to the context menu; and there are one or two bugs I've started to notice that need fixing.

I'm suprised that no-one has left any bug reports in the comments or twittered them to me - I've had an average of 30 hits per day to the Quakk tag in this blog since I posted a link on the Twitter Wiki, and although I haven't been able to record the download counts so far, I find it hard to believe that no-one has downloaded it or encountered a bug - come on folks.

Alternatively, if you've downloaded it and like it, then follow me on Twitter (@littlecharva) and send me some love baby!
