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

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
    • I'm not sure how old the school is, but they've been doing this since GTA 3. Back in those days we'd be lucky for game companies to release on the PC at all. And with the current state of Sony (or Microsoft) their gaming wing won't be getting a penny from me.
