Option for fixed-width feed

I've been fiddling with the config file and making "boxes" for tweets with Unicode, but long lines of text ruin the effect:

It would be nice to be able to have the option of entering a fixed width for tweets to wrap to, as with messages, to allow for decorations like this:

Guessing it can be done with textwrap?

Sure it can ! I just need time to implement :)

Just wondering if there's been any update to this?

I'm having a similar problem with my setup. I run Rainbowstream in a narrow iTerm split pane and longer tweets get cut off at less than ideal points. For example:

Along with offering a fixed-width option, I think word wrapping would really help clean up the output, too.

+1 for fixed-width and word wrapping options. I'm using it just like @eggbit but in a tmux pane.
