Because tweetz is a Windows Sidebar gadget it stays on your desktop where it's always available. And if you're a fan of Windows 7's Aero Peek, you're going to love tweetz. Simply move your mouse over the "Show Desktop" bar at any time to reveal your gadgets, including tweetz, and read your tweets.

Tweetz also respects the gadget guidelines. The docked version (pictured above) is 130 pixels wide and plays with other "docked" gadgets correctly. Want more realestate? No problem, the undocked version is wider.

Languages

German, Greek, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Swedish, Turkish, Dutch and English

Localizing Tweetz is very simple. Edit the locale.js file in the gadget directory. I suspect it takes most translators less than 20 minutes to do this. When you get it the way you want, send it to me and I’ll include it in the next release.
