DestroyTwitter Twitter Client, updated to 2.0.2

DestroyTwitter 2.0.2 is a complete rewrite of the previous 1.7 version. It is a cross-platform Twitter client (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Requires Adobe Air.

Changes:

• [Added] Close to system tray preference (pc only)
• [Added] Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab to navigate
• [Fixed] URL linking doesn't include accents
• [Fixed] Preference menu positions are wrong
• [Fixed] Profile drawer doesn't support unicode
• [Fixed] Correcting word doesn't update char count
• [Fixed] Refresh type coercion runtime error

I like the new changes made. Hovering on an entry will show a reply icon and a drop-down icon. Tweaking for the major columns: Home, Mention, Search, and Messages, are done individually via a drop-down menu.

This is one of my favorite Twitter clients. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a spin! You might like what you see. ;)
