Add Option to Remove Twitter Trends

I agree. I have no use for trends (perhaps I am missing a Twitter secret here) and have the ability to disable it would be great.

I'm not asking you to remove the node. I'm asking for a way so that a *user* can not see the node. Just a simple checkbox in the prefs to show or not show Twitter Trends. (If you feel this will complicate the prefs too much, then how about a hidden 'defaults write' pref to disable it?)

Personally, my use of Twitter is such that not only do I not care what's happening in the "twitterscape," it's actually annoying to see the trends. That's why I'd like the option to hide the trends: they take away from what I use Nambu for, and what attracted me to it in the first place. I like that it's got a simple, functional user interface, with enough power to do what I need it to do.

It's now lost some of that simplicity by including an entire section that I have no use for, and no way to disable. It's actually annoying enough that I'm now off testing other clients again, trying to find one that will let me simplify the interface down to match my needs.

Edit: Turning off the dock unread count would be a great first step; perhaps that's what's annoying me most. I can collapse the section using the disclosure triangle, which effectively hides it. I'd still prefer it not to be there at all, though.

please fix this quick... its tricking me again and again and every time im getting more depressed because there are no new tweets but just trends... :(

Yeah, the dock counter needs to stay unaffected by Trends. I don't mind having them there though...

Well, it took me 2 minutes after updating to realizing that Trends is causing my Dock icon to have a little red symbol.
Annoying.
To me, the read indicator means that a new tweet has arrived from one of 7 "people" that I follow.

Yes, please. I do watch the trends, but would prefer not to have these show as unread tweets that are reflected in the dock icon.

Can there be an option not to count unread trends in unread tweets in dock?

Option not to count unread trends in dock icon.

I love that you'll have a silent version, that's perfect for me. I don't want to see any numbers in my sidebar or anywhere else but I do like having trends, especially custom ones.

In looking at my pre-2.0 version (on my 10.5 Mac), I see Trends were there, just buried in Search. So I guess if I can bury them in their own sidebar entry, that's basically the same thing :) -- but definitely, the Dock counter update must go!

I just noticed something about the "trends": 1 appearance is enough to warrant something as a "trending topic"? Seriously?

I think the criteria of what makes something a "trending topic" needs to be scrutinized a bit further. Like, say, 10, or 100, or even 1000 appearances before it is shown sounds more realistic given the Twitter userbase. 1 is just too low of a threshold to be taken seriously.

Perhaps this can be worked in as a user-specified sensitivity level. "Show as trending topic after (insert number) mentions" or some-such.

I'd like the option to disable "Trends", as it's a feature I don't use, or at least not have it change the statusbar notification state.


The statusbar notifier should only be for new tweets, not for trend updates, IMO.

Disable Trends / Don't Notify On Trends Updates.

Looks like it's already getting looked at... going to say the same thing, it is quite annoying that the thing goes red when it's only trending topics. I only wanna open the thing when I have a new tweet. Thanks for looking into it :)

now with the update trends is not tagged on the icon bar and neither are new tweets despite that I have marked to show mentions and unread tweets!!

I have to admit I'm with robg on this - I appreciate the option to not have trends showing in the unread count (which indeed works fine in 1.9.1.9) however I'd prefer to have the option to hide it completely or at least not have a count show when the disclosure triangle is hiding the trends. Trends are not an important facet to me for twitter and it's frankly a bit distracting seeing the count and since updates to it come reasonably quickly and regularly it's incredibly inefficient to keep having to clear the counter.

On a related note, what's the likelihood of going back to nambu 1.1.x behaviour where the tab key can be used to go between sections (categories, tweets, input box)?

I agree - we need to be able to remove it. Even though the most recent update allows me to not display the count in the dock, I do not care to see the count at all.

I like trending. What bothered me was the counter next to the trend menu. I don't really understand what the concept of having a counter, unless people like to keep track of a massive number of trends.

I also think this may be artificially inflated because this combines both the counter problem and the trend feature itself.

Are there future plans to re-implement the trend count, not just the start time and the duration?
