Closing the app and restarting it gives me this error now:

Also, all of my original problems still persist. My infinite scrolling is working here :)

We just fixed the app crash on load. Restart it to auto-update. :)

Will be working through all the other issues.

In settings the check box for starting it up when I log in doesn't, actually none of the boxes work in settings.

They're not enabled yet :)

Can't wait to try the app later on my Windows 7. Just wanna find a good alternative to TweetDeck

By the way, Long, I think I saw you on the Office 2010 launch in Sydney a few weeks ago :)

Just pushed out an update that should fix this crash. Restart the app to receive the update. :)

Wow! Really nice, will install once i've got rid of Beta 2 of VS 2010 and installed the Release copy

Super sexy interface!

[daniel_rh]

I must say that is amazing, I haven't tested it well yet but so far, so good... I love the Zune-like interface

[LightShadow]

Just installed... Amazing! All it needs now is to remember read tweets on start up again (It's on the known-issue list as I have seen) and to fix the size. As on my screen when It opens some goes under the superbar. So I try and move the program up. But it seems to lock some space. About half a centimetre it locked. So if I drag it above it will just move it down a bit. It does not do this for other apps so... Just hope this gets fixed as it can get a bit annoying at times.

Great app though.

Works better now

Is there any way we can change the program icon? I'm using an icon set for my taskbar so it looks kind of out of place and it doesn't seem like the normal way of changing a shortcut's icon works.

Can you show us how your icon set for yours taskbar looks? Being curious... hehe

And no, there is no way you can do that. The program is in development right now. Fill a bug report and make your request. Be kind and remember they are still fixing things, so the first priority goes to problems and fixes than adding features and stuff.

Changing the colors by matching your Windows color style or selecting it by yourself. I would love to make it similar look as the Zune software does.

It is notifying me about some same updates, replies each time when im starting app. Is there any way to get rid of this without turning off graphic/sound notifications?

No, that will be fixed in an update.

From their blog, http://www.metrotwit.com/blog/:

?Read? tweets do not save between sessions after closing application

This is a known issue and will be fixed in a future release.

[Saket]

I am using it and its great! Although it crashes often but its interface is better than TweetDeck or Seesmic

I met one the guys who wrote this software at REMIX in Melbourne last week - it's quite an awesome demo of the power of WPF and .NET. :)

Shame no one else uses the one click install or any other feature of .NET. I'd love web browsers or IM clients to do the same. Those need a simple way of installation and a consistent update mechanism like metrotwit provides.
