While we wait for someone to take up the Trillian port I made a quick bitmap to replace an existing skin to make the outer appearance of Trillian and the message windows "Codename Opus"ish. This will only work on stixe skins using the minimal interface. I'm using the Opus OS skin that Armlann on deviantART made.

Simply copy the file to the \images directory of the skin you want to modify and rename it to "SmallWindow.bmp". Then open settings.ini and make the following change (this changes the background color of the Contact List headers) ;

Blue


Dusk


Green


Deviant


Alpha


Green and Deviant don't look all that good (at least with Armlann's Opus OS skin) because of the other blue colors in the skin. There all editable though, so if you can find the right ones in settings.ini you can change them to a shade of green.

But you can use any skin you want.

great work dude! sadly, i dont use trillian.

any chance of getting a GREEN version? thx for the blue and dusk though, blue works excellently here!

Green done, but it doesn't look to good with the other blue colors around the skin.

I don't suppose you've had any plans to make a DeviantArt colored skin as well?

Done... updated above.

Alpha added.

OPaul,
Could you make normal sized window bitmaps for blue and/or alpha color schemes please (or even just direct me how to make them myself)?

Also, does anyone know how to modify the window control graphics (minimize, maximize, close, etc) from the Opus OS skin to use ones from Opus 3.0? It seems like this should be somewhat trivial. Thanks for any info.

I tried doing normal windows and for some reason it just didn't work. You could ask on the Trillian forums. I don't use normal windows so I didn't pursue it that hard.
