Adding just two or three different chat clients into pidgin made it very clunky and hard to manage. I personally use three different MSN accounts, one Google talk account, one AIM account, one Skype account, and one Astra account (Trillian’s proprietary IM service) and my user interface looks very clean and streamlined. Very easy to group and organize existing contacts as well as to create new contacts and contact groups and integrate them with multiple services. Trillian 5 has a very streamlined and aesthetic user interface I would say this is its main advantage over Pidgin.
#Trillian skin upgrade#
In my opinion the free version of Trillian 5 is to over cluttered with ads to be useful, I strongly recommend the upgrade to Trillian Pro for more streamlined and hassle-free experience. There is a free version of Trillian 5 however it is ad supported, in order to remove ads a paid upgrade of the yearly $12 subscription or a one-time $60 fee is required. Trillian also supports multiple chat and social networking clients, however unlike Pidgin Trillian is not opensource.
#Trillian skin code#
I’ve come to the conclusion that there are really only two clients that handle multiple services and plug-ins as well as offer a hassle-free interface.Īn open-source systems client that runs on both Windows and Linux, Pidgin supports the largest amounts of services out of all of the instant messaging clients, has plenty of useful plug-ins and can be tweaked and modified in endless amounts of ways since the source code is open. I have used multiple IM clients that allow integration of many different services, the most popular being: AOL Instant Messenger, MSN, Google talk, Skype, Yahoo Instant Messenger, IRC, and social networking applications like Facebook and Twitter. The ability to send messages, check e-mails, and teleconference in an efficient manner will free up time and allow you to complete multiple tasks quicker. Having an easy to use and navigate Instant Messenger desktop client that can support multiple protocols is a vital business tool in today’s environment. With thanks to the Trillian developers for continuing support of Trillian 5 skins (and theming in general) in version 6 onwards.Trillian and Pidgin are both mulch-client instant messaging desktop applications that allow you to do many functions with one desktop app. Modified to support Trillian's "Mobile" status (changing the avatar border to blue when the user is on mobile).
