Trillian 5 for Windows Public Beta!


Recommended Posts

Ha, awesome... I read that post and thought I remember Trillian having spellcheck (purchased Astra, but haven't used heavily since 3.1)... thanks for the link Neobond.

Hm... It looks nice, I do like it. And the syncing of chats was something I wanted from the Astra Alpha, so when they get that working it will be really great. There do seem to be some odd usability choices though. Hopefully they'll hammer out some of the quirks in the Beta...

Yeah, it does. In Astra it caused some weird flickering issues for me with the text... Hopefully that will not be the case for Trillian 5 (I didn't have the flickering problems until 4.1 IIRC)... It was annoying enough that I disabled it.

Hi this is a really great piece of software.

But does anyone know how to keep the Facebook and Twitter icons hidden. Normally they are until I open them from Trillian. Once I close the window they stay on the taskbar.

EDIT

I realised that if you hover over them they appear ^^

awesome, why is this the first i've heard of this plugin lol

The plugin system needs a lot of work. Hopefully that's in the plans for Trillian 5... The last version of that plugin was released in 2007 though and in my experience caused problems in Astra. Not sure about Trillian 5, I might try it later.

What kind of problems? I used it with astra as well and did not seem to have any sort of problems with it at all.

Anyone know when there will be an update?

They are usually pretty good about putting out updates. Seeing multiple in a month is not uncommon (on the Windows platform, anyway; the others are slower). Maybe they are working on some bigger changes that are taking longer.

Damnnn loving this program, just switched from WLM.

2 questions:

1. Any way to disable notifications for certain networks? I don't want sign-on notifications for FB Chat. edit: found out, it's in the last options tab in fb settings.

2. Any way to get rid of that [email protected] connecting to [email protected] in your chat windows (might only be applicable for WLM)?

The text entry box fickered with each key press, resized oddly, and in some cases froze. It was very annoying. It started with 4.1 I believe. There's another spell checker that someone pointed me to that does work though and was developed by Cerulean Studios. The ASpell one though had a lot of problems for me.

Can you provide a link?

I love the GUI, but I cant use it since it seems none of my contacts see the files i try to send them and also no video chat for me is a no-no.

Webcam support would be really nice, and I agree it is an area they have really been slacking. It is one of the last "big" features that trillian really needs, and I think we will see it at some point in the 5.x development cycle for this reason. Anyway, it is not a deal-breaker for me. I think T5 is the best all-around IM client on Windows for the time being.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
