Clicking the avatar of a user brings up the timeline for that user. The "more" feature is on the todo list, it will be implemented sometime. ;-)
The limit on 20 tweets on on the Mentions is a bug, I'll fix it. Thanks. Glad you like it.

minor requests
- minimizable
- minimized, then autorestore on new activity
major requests:
- An Others tab that's used to display another twitterer's timeline instead of pulling that up in the browser. So basically intercept clicks on "http://twitter.com/<user>" to the widget itself?
- "more" to load the next older set of tweets on the active tab. I would like to use a small Tweets Displayed value for less data/quicker load normally. However, it becomes troublesome if I want to look at older tweets.
BTW, is Mentions limited only to last 20 tweets? I changed value of Tweets Displayed and it still shows 20.

, Twitter automatically shortens URLs, but I take it you want to shorten it before sending it. I'll consider it for the future.

In the twitter.js file you add soundPlay(); to the renderTimeline function. Find
if (notifyOnNewTweet) widget.getAttention();
change to...
if (notifyOnNewTweet){
widget.getAttention();
soundPlay();
}
Then add the following lines right after the renderTimeline function...
var soundEmbed = null;
function soundPlay() {
soundStop();
soundEmbed = document.createElement("embed");
soundEmbed.setAttribute("src", "http://my.websound.com/chimes.wav");
soundEmbed.setAttribute("hidden", true);
soundEmbed.setAttribute("autostart", true);
document.body.appendChild(soundEmbed);
}
function soundStop() {
if ( soundEmbed ) {
document.body.removeChild(soundEmbed);
soundEmbed = null;
}
}
Change the soundEmbed.setAttribute("src", "http://my.websound.com/chimes.wav");
line to the URL for the sound file you want to use.
Anytime a new tweet comes in you will get an audio prompt.
Never say you can't do something.

I sat down and looked at the code for the Twitter Widget and decided to add the changes I asked for.
I have modified the code to add Group Tags and a Check Box to turn it on and off.
You can enter more than one group tag in the configuration page. When you post the groups will be added to the input box. It was fairly easy to add.
Here is the file... http://junk.aatraders.com/twitter_3.20_groups.zip
Also, adding a sound file should be possible as well. Never say never.

An example would be #aatrade
A person could enter that tag or a series of tags.
The checkbox when set would automatically ADD those tags to the end of the tweet. This will cause the tweet to be included in all of those groups automatically. This will allow people using http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23aatrade to view all of the tweets online even if they are not following anyone in the group.
If the checkbox is checked then you would automatically reduce the number of characters that could be typed by the number of characters in the group tags being included.
Right now a person has to type in each group at the end of every single tweet they make if they want them cross posted. Very annoying and time consuming.

And you CANNOT minimize using the windows taskbar. That option is ghosted out when you right click on it on the task bar. Also, double clicking on the taskbar item doesn't minimize like other programs.
If it's supposed to do that then there is definitely a bug that needs to be fixed.

Panama Jack, the widget can be minimized like any other program (although you have to control it from the window list/task bar). Spawning two widgets should really just be a matter of downloading the widget twice.

I have two different accounts and I had to download a modified version of this widget so I can have two of them open.
