Alternatives to Trillian

[wxjunkie]

I like Trillian, but they haven't release anything new for Pro 1.0 in a loooong time.

Anyone have any suggestions?

What kind of improvements/features are you looking for ?

 

[GigaCluster]

Gaim or Miranda IM.

I like Trillian's ability to log into more than one service at once ... but it doesn't seem to follow all protocols very well. The idle times and away messages from users are rarely accurate, and I've yet to find a skin appealing to the eye. I'd just as well use AIM but I've got plenty of people I communicate with that use MSN or ICQ instead.

 

[GigaCluster]

Both clients that I suggested offer you to log in with multiple usernames and multiple protocols simultaneously.

I don't know about GAIM, but here's a thread about Miranda vs. Trillian

I like Trillian, but it's got some *ugly* skins to it. As far as I'm concerned *all* Windows applications should default to using the Windows look.

yeah, trillian seems to be a bit buggy still.. w/ idle times and what not. and the html profile plug-in isn't that great (it defaults to IE for one, even w/ another browser set as default)
