Trillian Astra (Pre-Release): when beauty and functionality found

In our area are not too well known and widespread messenger Trillian, which could grow to 3.1. However, the development of this branch of the messenger had significant problems with Russian language, which is absolutely leveled all his dignity, which is so much that for myself, I think it is an ideal product for use with a variety of instant messaging services in one program.

The new branch of this client is named trillian Astra - is not only a sexy interface, but also a software package which we will tell you about.

Generally, the client download just does not get to the official release, to get it can only be written in the testers. But signing up I have not received an invitation, because the rescue came "torrents" and you're reading this review.

That's what I'm using the Windows-version of the client:

• Support for all common IM-protocols "out of the box": ICQ / AOL, GTalk, Jabber, Yahoo!, MSN, and even instant messenger, which is used in MySpace;
• ability to use "Meta" - a feature of combining multiple accounts under one your buddy icon;
instagram viewer
• multiple plug-ins supportThat can turn into anything messenger;
• support contacts are displayed sorted according to parameters: by status at work, in alphabetical order, the size of message history;
• support skinsAs well as change the color palette of the existing skin (like many Vista programs);
• displaying an avatar 4 sizes (From small to simply enormous), and, also, two kinds of contacts display - a list of classic and plitochki as folders In Windows - very nice and it turns out convenient!
• messages history - here it is possible to look at the calendar, see the schedule correspondences frequencies per day on a time scale search;
• support for voice and video calling;
• support multidisciplinary.

In addition to the offline client Astra ideology is spread to create web versions Trillian. Those. Flash version is available to you, which completely duplicates the settings of your desktop programs. Moreover, now in the online version you can view message history regardless of protocol communication. Also supports skins, meta, and also has a version for mobile devicesAs well as for the Apple iPhone.
