Trillian 5 for Windows Public Beta!

[sanctified Veteran]

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.

I agree is not a essential indeed, but how about file transfers? at least with my msn contacts I cant send nor receive files.

Trillian -> MSN and MSN -> Trillian file transfers have had issues since 4.0. Cerulean Studios has taken their sweet time fixing it.

I support them and all, but fix the problems first THEN add new features.

I always wondered why Trillian came out with some hideous skins and then I browsed their forums, some the posters are morons. Anyway Trillian 5 can be made to pretty nice. It requires a bit of work though.

I'll be trying to port some Adium message views over. The skinning engine is pretty powerful just really hard to use.

What are those status icons? I'd love to have them, the default one looks fairly ugly.

The update hasn't fixed the screen redrawing issues so I'll be sticking with Digsby for now.

File transfers (AIM)) work great for me. I love how trillian pro autozips folders to transfer. I never use MSN for file transfers because frankly it tends to be pretty awful with any third party client.

Can you provide a link?

For the Cerulean Studios Spell Checker? http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/downloads/detail.php?item=141

This one works great for me. If you mean a link to the issues I was having with ASpell, there is none, they were my personal issues. I remember discussing them at the time on the forums, but that was quite some time ago and the plugin is never updated...

I agree. Webcam support is a big feature that they really do need to get in version 5. I don't use it much, but it IS a big issue for a lot of people and IS hindering adoption...

I would like to know where to get those status icons as well.

Also, when I'm "invisible" my friends on WLM see me mobile offline and they can't send me any messages, is there a way to fix this?

Got the status icons from here : http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=2010

You have to edit

\Trillian\stixe\icons\Default-Services-5\DEFAULT\Services-Tiny.png

because the icons aren't created by me I'm not sure I can release it.

Also to adjust padding you have to edit

\Trillian\skins\windows\xml\controls\listitemcontrol.xml

New update works good (Y)

By the way how do you get Trillian to stop green underlining text with hover over quick links? Thanks

Thanks guys :)

One more question, howcome when I leave an update on Twitter it kind of looks like it's leaving it twice?

And no sorry I don't have a Youtube icon like in my sig :(

Let me know how that goes. I know an Adium style which I'd like to try out.

The one reason that keeps me from using Trillian 5 is the way the window acts whenever there's a new tab being added in a tables window.

mail,

Is it possible to change message styles in Trillian to something like this?

[mail]

Gonna do that one first. I like it, it's pretty similar to the one you want.

[-KJ]

Sweet, that looks nice and clean.

[ienhz]

Is there any way to disable some of the emoticons you don't use? I hate how typing LOL turns it into a stupid yahoo IM emoticon.

[-KJ]

I hope message styles can be applied to IRC. I don't like all the brackets surrounding timestamps and arrows surrounding the name. It's unnecessary this day and age.

If you manage to pull it off it could actually make me switch :p

So glad I bought pro and supported the guys making this, great application. Never was a fan before due to the horrible GUI.
