Gwibbly, another theme for Gwibber

Damn! its 6 am already, this one tool exceptionally more time. I noticed many cool looking twitter clients on OS X have that shiny-little twitter bubble to display message.

To install the new gwibber theme:

1. Download the new theme from google code
2. Decompress it to ~/.local/share/gwibber/ui/themes/

Make that path if it not present
3. In Gwibber, open Preferences (Gwibber->Preferences or Ctrl+P).
Pull down the theme chooser and choose ‘gwibbly’, or 'gwibbly-dark' etc.
4. On my system, it took Gwibber a few seconds to apply the new theme.
Be patient, and things should shape up.
