Tweak New Twitter v2.9 Release Notes

Added

• Uninverting Follow / Following buttons is now enabled by default
• Added a new experiment: full-width content
  • Makes the main timeline and list timelines take up all the available layout width
  • Media & cards default to their normal size, as they take up much more vertical space when full-width, but they can also be made full-width separately

Changed

• Moved "Uninvert Follow / Following buttons" to the "UI improvements" options group
• Uninverted "Following" buttons now follow the "Button style" option (monochrome or themed) instead of defaulting to being themed
• Made hiding "More Tweets" when linked to a tweet a bit more aggressive
• Experimental options are now collapsed by default unless you have an experiment active. Click on the "Experiments" label to show/hide them

Fixed

• Fixed an error getting the element containing menus and modals, which could happen when refreshing on certain pages
• Fixed the new Color sometimes not getting picked up when you change it in "Customize your view"
• Fixed the current page not being re-processed if you don't use the "Use normal text font style in navigation bar" option and you change the font size in "Customize your view"
• Fixed the border style on uninverted Following buttons
• Reduced the amount of unnecessary re-processing of the current page due to html style changes

Added

• Added an option to keep showing the "Relevant people" section when hiding sidebar content [#40]

Fixed

• Fixed fast blocking being broken by recent Twitter changes [#57]
• Added missing Bengali translation for "Shared Tweets"

Fixed "Don't use Chirp font" not working in browsers which don't preserve unnecessary quotes in CSS font-family rules (i.e. Chrome)

Added

• Added an option to uninvert the Follow / Following buttons
• Once uninverted, you can choose from two styles for Follow buttons:
  • Monochrome (default) matches other buttons in the new Twitter update
  • Themed uses your selected theme color, like Follow buttons used to

Changed

• Changed how we get the current theme color to a more reliable method which should work on any initial page

Screenshots

Added

• Added an option to disable use of the new Chirp font [#56]
• Added a "UI tweaks" section to the options page and moved "Pin the quoted tweet when viewing Quote Tweets" to it

Changed

• You can now configure which individual metrics are hidden when using "Hide metrics" [#54]

• Hide media when pinning the quoted tweet on "Quote Tweets" pages, and add a click handler which takes you to the original tweet

  Pinning the quoted tweet breaks the usual functionality it would have like showing media, profile hover cards, clicking to view the original tweet, etc. The point of this feature is to make more room for QT comments, so for now we'll just make it show and do the bare minimum.

New Option

Changed

Fixed

• Fixed the "You might like" section appearing in the sidebar when viewing the profile of an account which has never tweeted any media
• Made tweak-new-twitter.user.js compatible with user script managers which don't implement or shim the GM API from Greasemonkey, such as Userscripts for Safari

New

• Extension option changes are now automatically applied to open pages, so you no longer have to refresh the page to apply them [#12]

• New experiment: disable the home timeline when you want to waste less time on Twitter, going to Notifications or Messages by default instead [#51]

  Thanks to @brechtcs for the idea, Pull Request and post explaining why you might want to give this one a try

Changed

• "Hide tweets quoting accounts you've blocked or muted" now also works for retweeted quote tweets
• When hiding metrics, the tweet count under the username header on profile pages is now also hidden

Fixed

• Sidebar content no longer re-appears when viewing a profile's followers/following page
• The sparkle is now correctly hidden when always using Latest Tweets but not using the separate timeline for retweets or quote tweets
• Fixed hiding the share button when viewing a individual tweet
• Fixed the page not being reprocessed on the main timeline when changing the "Font size" setting in "Customize your view"

• Added hiding of tweets which quote accounts you've blocked or muted
• Added hiding of suggested topic tweets in the algorithmic "Home" timeline

Changed how user preferences are saved so future changes to default configuration can be picked up

• Turn hiding share buttons and analytics links off by default
• Hide "You might like" in sidebar when viewing a blocked account's profile
• Hide "Suggested" on profile pages, which slides in when you follow/unfollow

Fixed typo in detection of "replied" algorithmic tweets on Home timeline

New

• Hide the share button under tweets (now hidden by default)

• Hide "liked" and "replied" algorithmic tweets on the Home timeline, if you use it (now hidden by default)
• Added a new category of features in the options UI - Experiments - which are disabled by default
• New experiment feature: hiding metrics - hides like, retweet, quote tweet and follower counts
• New experiment feature: reduced interaction mode - hides the action bar under tweets, so replies are now the only means of interacting
• Added "Shared Tweets" translations for all languages

Changed

• The sparkle button on the main timeline is now hidden when always using the Latest Tweets timeline, as switching to Home will just result in you immediately getting switched back to Latest Tweets
• Navigating away from the Retweets/separated tweets timeline and navigating back to /home without using the Home navigation link will now restore display of the Retweets/separated tweets timeline
• Made detection of verified accounts broader so it picks up tweets which quote verified accounts
