Sorry, I don’t know how to do either of those. Your best bet might be posting in the Skin Dev forums in the official Trillian boards.
First open the frame-message.xml file in the classic version of the skinXMLWindows (I believe change it changes all the skin’s themes). Go to line 300ish, which looks like this:
Code:OK, first comment out the first tag and the tag using , so that only the middle third of the code is still intact. Now change the num in from 63 to 3, and in from 43 to 5.
The next stage is to update the draggable splitter you use to resize the edit box to account for these changes. The code for it can be found earlier in the same file, round about line 150:
Code:First change num in from -38 to 0 and in from 42 to 4. This will move the splitter back to somewhere you can actually get it, but the minimum size for the edit box is still huge. Change the tags like so:
Code:Of course, your choice of default may be different, you might like to experiment a little. Once you resize the edit box in a particular message window that setting will be remembered for that buddy, but to reset all windows’ skin settings to the default you can delete trillianusers.ini.
Hope this helps! Post back if you have any problems following or getting it to work.
In Trillian Pro this option is in MSN account preferences (click the blue circle in the contact list and choose “account preferences”) under the privacy tab.
In Trillian Basic go into normal preferences and the option is under MSN->privacy near the bottom.
No, they should still get the confirmation message. Perhaps these are people that you’ve added to your list in the past then deleted? I don’t think people in that situation would get [another] confirmation message.
Someone can only warn you if you speak to them. So if a particular person warns you, then just stop speaking to them and they won’t be able to warn you any more.
You could download it at home and take it to work on a floppy disk maybe? Otherwise certainly cnet (http://www.download.com), MajorGeeks and tucows host it.
No, the version of Trillian you’re using shouldn’t let them get around the privacy settings. Maybe you or they are using more than one AIM name name?
There is no %message%-like variable for this event. The best you could do is change the event type to “Message: Im Inbound (out of focus)”.
Sorry I didn’t post this earlier, I only just realised this… On 0.74, although you can’t set systray alerts, you can set a sound alert or a “buddy alert window” (a bit less subtle than a systray alert) for particular people. Right click on your girlfriend in your trillian contact list and choose “set alerts”, then choose the options you want.

I’m trying to get new skins for my trillan but I seem to be doing somethign wrong. I tried doing all the suggestions already given but I seem to still be having problems. I downloaded the one I wanted and used winzip…….I extraced the files, but I’m lost after that…..I went back to the preferances and selected skins then launch skin chooser, but I only have one file there.
What am I doing wrong?Make sure you’ve extracted the skin to the right place. You can tell where a skin’s gone by looking for where its “trillian.xml” file went (this is a file that all skins have), and if it’s in the right place then all the other bits of the skin should be too. You should make sure its ended up in trillianskins, not trillianskins and not trillianskins.
Go into preferences. On the events page go onto the advanced tab, and if there are duplicate contact signon/off events (near the top) delete them.
I don’t there is such an option I’m afraid, except that on the events page I’ve just told you about you can make them persistent i.e. they never go away, unless you click on them (right click dismisses them without opening a message window).
Yes, you can read someone’s ICQ away message in Trillian by right clicking their name and choosing “read away message”. This works in both Pro and basic (i.e. 0.74).
Trillian Pro only can notify of birthdays using the birthday plugin
