Instant messaging is the most convenient means of communications on the internet today, filling an important niche between a phone call and e-mail; it's fast, and not too intrusive. Users connect to a central server which allows real time message delivery to and from other users. These messages utilize text, graphics, and even streaming video to make the IM experience stronger. However, there are more than four different major messaging media currently in widespread use, which separates everyone and complicates this convenient way of communication. Trillian is here to solve the problem, "instantly"!
What is Trillian Pro?
Trillian Pro is a very powerful communications tool that includes a huge number of features to enhance your IM experience, creating infinite possibilities during your journey on the Internet. Whether you're a user tangled by the complexity of using more than one network, a user who is using only one messenger looking for a better experience, or an Internet user looking for an efficient way to stay updated with the world, Trillian Pro is designed for you.
With hundreds of new features and bug fixes, Trillian Pro just keeps getting better. More than just combining all of your messaging contacts into one list, Trillian Pro brings a wealth of information to your fingertips. Keep track of your favorite news feeds, blogs, stocks, weather, and other internet resources all within a unified interface.
New Features:
1.Now boasting full Unicode support, including the ability to define new language packs for the entire application, Trillian Pro 2.0 is now fully prepared to be experienced by users world-wide. You can now send and receive messages in other character sets across all of the major IM networks! [Learn more].
2.Have you always wished you could maintain multiple contact lists for 2 or more connections to the same service? With per-connection contact lists, you can! Simply choose a new name for your contact list during account creation and Trillian will take care of the rest. Utilizing the power of Trillian's built-in "sections" feature, it's a cinch to hide or collapse lists you don't view often, saving you valuable screen real estate. In addition, Super Tooltips now hook directly into Trillian's rich API, allowing both a cleaner, skinnable look and feel as well as the ability to be customized on-the-fly. [Learn more] 3.AIM^® Typing Indicator, AIM^® Mac.com Support, ICQ^® Server-Side Contacts, MSN^® Display Pictures, improved MSN^® File Transfers and Yahoo^® File Sending are just some of the upgrades we've snuck into 2.0. Our freshly updated SDK opens up even more possibilities for developers to explore. One of the first projects utilizing this SDK is the new Jabber^® plug-in, with many more in the works! Chiefly, developers can now write plug-ins that mirror the functionality of our own and act as entirely new chat networks. Manage the opening and closing of your own windows, the sending and receiving of instant messages, entries in the connection manager, and much, much more. [Learn more]
4.We've taken the container concept to a higher ground with Trillian Pro 2.0's new tabbed container feature. Similar in nature to our existing (and still supported) container windows, tabbed containers assist in simplifying and cleaning up your desktop. A small tab at the top of the window represents individual sessions, with indicator colors to let you know when someone is talking to you. In addition, our systray-spawned notification windows now intelligently shift themselves closer to the systray when necessary and stick around while your mouse is covering them. Status icons now show up in chat windows, and systray sign on alerts are enabled by default. [Learn more]
