MRR Software has updated its twitter customization application for Mac, Syrinx, to version 1.3.1 The new release fixes a couple of issues bugging users since the 1.3.0 launch.

More particularly, MRR Software has been able to resolve an issue where some international users could not retrieve their timelines. Keen on patching other user-reported holes, the team of developers also fixed a problem where showing the conversation on a reply to a user they didn't follow would lead to an invalid website.

With Syrinx, new tweets are colored according to the customizable bookmark coloring, upon their arrival. They are also accompanied by a sound (if one wishes), while the number of bookmarked tweets is badged on the dock icon. The searching capabilities of the utility allow the user to look for specific tweets, or to see if their names have come up in a certain context.

New tweets get pulled down (so they don't miss a thing), but they won't fly away until the users are ready to resume the read. Moreover, they can hit the spacebar to advance the bookmark one tweet at a time, use Enter / Return to reply to the currently selected tweet, while all the other popular actions are bound to the keyboard.

However, since customization is the focus with Syrinx, the tool offers several built-in themes, such as Apple, Dragobah, Hoth, Tatooine, Yavin, and, of course, a Custom theme, while letting individuals change their timeline background colors, their own status background, and the bookmark color. Users can choose a system sound to notify them when new tweets have arrived, and they can tell Syrinx how often to check for updates.

Note that Twitter lowers the rate limits when the servers become overwhelmed, or during heavy load periods. As such, Syrinx includes a useful option to dynamically adjust its request rate to stay under any request limit, while the application will automatically space out one's remaining requests.

Syrinx requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) to run, and is a Universal Binary. Download the software using the link below.
