Trillian 5 for Windows Public Beta!


Recommended Posts

With native I also mean, that Trillian do what all other windows in Windows do. In example: Trillian doesn't mind (all) the Visual effects in Windows. If I unset "show window contents while dragging" Trillian doesn't mind.

My Trillian does this, (does the same as any other window) I just tested it.

Cant use without Astra network, because "changes to your connections will not be saved to the server"? Ew.

You can still use it without that. I turned it off, all it means is that the settings are not saved on the server (for logging in with your account elsewhere).

Only annoying thing with logging out of the Astra account is it'll sit there telling you it's disconnected in the contact list.

The Facebook Plugin could use some improvement, but overall it has made me purchase the license and ditch WLM Wave 4.

Some things I'd like to see (posted on their seemingly inactive forums)

  • Tab highlighting, when new messages are posted (like how WLM does it in Wave 4). Because I have disabled a lot of those annoying balloon pop-ups notifications, and taskbar highlight (IRC + Taskbar activity highlighting?, erm NO!).
  • Group tabbed messages by service, seriously, that this doesn't already exist? :s
  • ability for the IRC plugin window to include server status messages too, instead of it having to be a separate screen
  • native irc formatting and colors (I have no idea how to set it to look like mIRC)
  • why can't we have window controls on the Trillian contact list?

I'll probably think of more :p

Yea hehe, I love dark theme too..

Is there any way to have a better chat view. I hate bubble chat !?

In the chat window, on the top toolbar, click the 'more' menu, and click 'chat views' Theres only one other one you can choose right now (simple). Astra had a couple more and this is beta, so I'd assume we'll see the rest of the chat views by the final version.

Wanted to try it until I found out that it forces you to create an "Astra" account and store all your login details (optional, on by default) and contact lists (not optional) with them.

Where do you go to turn off the storing of the login details?

I don't like that they're keeping this information already. I'm impressed by their client though. Very clean and lightweight. Shame they want you to tunnel everything through their proprietary account.

Doesn't look like it. I'll probably have to continue relying on Skype for video chat for the forseeable future.

Thanks for the reply, its to bad. It should be compared to MSN if it had the same features, this way is useless.

Im gonna wait for full compatibility with MSN users. I see this software for some years maybe 10? And yet continues very simple but not compatible...its bad, cause Trillian is merely for "geeks" or some advanced users, and we will always have to have full compatibility and full features with other IM?s.

Thanks again

    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
    • "Learning" and "starting" are fine uses of AI. The moment that crap falls into the final game? Lost a sale from me.
    • Don't worry, the majority of its members still suffer from heavy TDS, so these White House simping posts will continue being few and far between.
    • If you're using a webcam for Zoom calls, then any 720p or 1080p cam will do. If on the other hand you want high quality video for streaming or recording, then consider using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because 99% of 4k webcams will have a tough time achieving same results.
