[digistil]

Screenshot??

[nazgul]

Holy crap, that's actually pretty impressive. It's obviously got a long way to go, and it won't make me switch from Miranda, but... damn.

[Steven]

The Term WIP isn't even good enough to describe this.....

WOW they buchered AIM. :blink:

[daze369]

there's screenshots on the triton beta page.

click on "Test Instructions" on the left.

there's a couple samples.

[JakeM741]

All I can say is it looks MUCH better :D

[Hurmoth]

:x I'll switch to GAIM before going to this :no:

[Ethere]

Doesn't look too bad. I just can't stand those ads. Hope there's a patcher out for the ads soon.

[b mitchell]

Time to give this thing a shot..

[f0rbez]

First impression... disappointed.

They did manage to revamp it pretty well. But once I saw that signature AIM ad on the list, I almost puked. Theres got to be a way they can put adverts in there, without looking that ugly.

[xxdesmus]

wow...this thing is beautiful.

No swearing in screenshots - timdorr

[ThunderRiver]

You guys are whiners. Didn't you know that you can remove all the ads with currently available online 3rd programs?

Some shots:

Signon

Buddy List

Preferences

Starting an IM (note that it shows the away message)

An open IM

Tabbed IMs

Address book

Looks nice to me :)

[FuzzyWuzzy]

if i were u guys id look at the ram usage from it, everyone who is using it is reporting high ram usage, its even used 100mb of my ram.. but its still first beta, hope they fix it :)

[xxdesmus]

wow...this thing is beautiful.

that wasn't intentional Tim, I apologize. :blush:

[Bawx]

"AOL can not connect at this moment"

Figures.

[zachman123]

Stuck on "Authenticating"

Figures.

[Veedems Veteran]

Wow, I just tried it out and they are DEFINITELY going in the right direction. It's a little odd navigating around the new UI, but it's got the simplistic but not beauty to it that msn completely messed up.

It's most likely got debug symbols enabled, so RAM usage will be bloated. When the compile it under a release profile, it should go back down a bit.

[Code.Red]

It looks pretty good in my opinion, although the big ad in the buddylist is still there..

It also lacks some features, but I'm sure they will add them later on, after all, it is just a beta...

Hey just found something, try saying

:)

and look at the effect..
