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

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
