Installation
Installation is easy! Just open Halfwit's Options page and click the "Open Plug-Ins Folder" button. Then simply drag the plug-in files into the folder and restart Halfwit.
New Tweet Notifications
The first round of plug-ins are all about being notified when new tweets arrive.
- Windows 7 Taskbar Icon Overlay
This plug-in adds a small overlay to the Halfwit icon in the Windows 7 Taskbar when new tweets arrive. The overlay stays there and counts the number of new tweets until you switch back to Halfwit, at which point it disappears.
- Growl for Windows
If you run Growl for Windows, a free global notification system, you can use this plug-in to have Halfwit pass on its new-tweet notifications to Growl.
