Position In Twitter Stream

When refreshing your Twitter stream, Spaz either scrolls to the top automatically or, when "Scroll to 1st new item on refresh" is selected, moves to the 1st new Tweet. What would be nice is when "Scroll to 1st new item on refresh" is NOT selected, you position in the Twitter stream stays the same. If you're reading tweet 47 of 62 and Spaz refreshes and loads 27 new tweets, I want to stay at tweet 47 and not automatically jump to tweet 89.
Also, adding a "New Tweets" bar like Tweed does would be very nice as well in helping to determine position from old tweets and new tweets on a refresh.

So the issue here is that you have to do more work to keep the scroller from changing position -- it's not something natively supported in HTML. We hacked up something in the desktop app to maintain position, though, and we should be able to do it on the mobile app too.
New tweets should have yellow text. Typically I think that should be enough to see where the new ones start, but since I don't have a device, it may not be enough of a contrast. Try the 0.5.6 test build and see if it helps.

I don't see this in 1.2.0, but I'd like to.

I think that any tweet that's been loaded since the last active use of the app should be considered new.
If I refresh every 15min, have the scroll to first new tweet setting checked and many 15 period elapsed, then only the tweets from the last refresh will be marked as new.
On a side note, its a bit annoying to have the timeline moves when refreshing. The refreshing indicator should be floating instead of part of the timeline.

Happy to take patches on UI issues. I'll look at them, but swamped for
the next month or two.
