![]() ![]() They were all very easy to install and required no tweaking or altering of code. I was able to include a search engine search box, a note keeping app ( TrillNotes), and a music player ( Trilly Tunes 2). Trillian has far fewer third-party plug-ins, but I found Trillian’s plug-in library to be far more useful. I have had to do very little modification to make Trillian look and feel right as opposed to Pidgin, were multiple tweaks and command line code was necessary to make minor changes within the user interface. There are many different skins available for Trillian however I have found that the default skin works best for my needs. User interface within chat windows is also set up very well, it is easy to read and write as well as look through history. 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. ![]() 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.
