Trillian doesn't take up 10K? Are you kidding or just flat out lying?

Trillian is a HOG. You do realize 10K can't even begin to load up the images of the skin don't you? (this is just with 1 yahoo account, 1 msn accont and 1 aim account, no other plugins)

"Mem Usage" column is useless. It doesn't actually tell how  much memory is allocated by that particular program. And thats what's important. Notice the how much memory is free after killing trillian.exe? Notice it freed up what was in VM Mem, not Mem Usage.

And just for the record, Google Talk(googletalk.exe) doens't take up all that much.

I checked right where you were and i have 1 msn, 1 yahoo, 1 aim, and 1 jabber and mine still doesnt take up more then 10k.

I dont wanna bother with screenshots unless you rlly rlly want them.

well I like it but, it has a LONG WAY to go in order to compete with Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger and AOL Instant Mesenger.

I appreciate the minimalistic interface and everything but, we need more features :)

Skins (not my personaly favorite feature but it would be nice)

Smiley icons (hopefuly skinnable)

rich text for messaging (fonts, bold, italics, etc.)

avatars

etc.

But I'd be stupid to believe Google wasn't already considering these things. Time will tell!

Just taking a look at Google talk with reshack and by the looks of it they are planning on adding Functionality to work with other jabber servers.

Edit: You can also get bold text by putting a * before and after the text that you want to be bold.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
