This Rainmeter skin will allow you to enter text (up to 140 chars...) in the skin using my RainInput program (included) and send the text as a "Tweet" using the open source cURL. (also included)

Simply unzip this into your Skins folder to install. Read the "RainInput.cfg" file for details about how to position the input box on the skin, and other parameters you can use to customize this or create your own skin with the provided tools.

NEW - June 22nd, 2009
While the program is running, you can hold down CTRL and use the mouse or keyboard to reposition the input box, and it will save the new position to the "Section" that was being used. Now you don't need to figure out and manually enter the screen coordinates for the input box. Just drag and drop.

Is there a *simple* way to change the logo of the bird on the side? This would be even more genius if I could put my own Twitter avatar on it...

This is a really old comment now, but maybe you still need an answer or someone else does.

In Rainmeter\Skins\SendTweet there is bird1.png and bird2.png. You can probably just switch out each of those with your preferred, transparent png with the same names.

If you'd rather be able to change images periodically without overwriting old ones, it might be better to actually change SendTweet.ini. Find

[MeterBird1]
Meter=IMAGE
X=210
Y=0
Hidden=0
ImageName="bird1.png"

[MeterBird2]
Meter=IMAGE
X=210
Y=0
Hidden=1
ImageName="bird2.png"

and change the ImageName= in each meter to your new files' names. Do this whenever you want to change the image.

This is excellent!

How do you make the background transparent for the inputbox? If I leave background color blank it goes to black and give an error

Another old comment to reply to, but maybe it'll be useful to someone.

In your documents folder in Rainmeter\Skins\SendTweet, open SendTweet.ini.

Find this:

[MeterInputBox]
Meter=IMAGE
X=25
Y=35
W=185
H=20
SolidColor=60,155,212,255

The last number of SolidColor is the opacity of the colour. You can change 255 to 1-5 and it'll be hardly noticable, but should still be clickable for entering text.
I haven't tried this, but it should work.

I'm wondering if this is possible as well. I have a really nice Rainmeter setup that I'm working on that this is perfect for - if I could just get that background gone...
