i proably won't implement that due to lazyness. :|

unfortnately all my custom window designs are broken when you build
the app for 64 bit. so i turned that stuff off on SnowLeopard. i
should prolly also remove the option to change it.

sorry, but that's what i get for using private apis. :(

that's a serious problem. thx i'll look into it.

those actually are not new... the Thumbnail plugin has had these
options. actually i dont remember why i disabled them for the browsa
plugin...

the "floating" option forces the panel to float above all other
windows in the app. the other option has normal window behavior.

Yes, much of the UI of the Twitter plugin is implemented as a WebKit
webview (just like in safari or fluid app SSBs). although all ofthe
logic is in native Objective-C, not JavaScript.

i have *long* used Hahlo in a Browsa plugin, and it's a nice option.
however, ultimately, i felt it was not as good as an experience as it
could be if i wrote this plugin. Personally, i'm liking the twitter
plugin better than Hahlo in a browsa plugin, but you always have that
option available if you like.
