Thanks for the update

Already noticing some improvement in how Skype’s being handled. Thanks, CS!

Nice build, thank you guys!

Loving the update. The FB and Twitter link functionality is what I was missing in 4.0. Being able to mouse left and click on the popup is exactly what I was looking for. 4.1 earned my subscription renewal. What I’m really, really wanting though… IS THE DAMN iPHONE APP!! HELLO!? ANYONE FROM APPLE READING THIS!? AT LEAST TELL US WHAT THE HOLDUP IS! I remember wanting a Trillian app when they first announced the app store was coming! Then I spend months reading about the app in development, and then that it had been submitted. I’ve been checking almost every day for nearly 3 months, and still no love. APPLE!! WTF!?

Thanks for the build, FYI Apple has made it so DEVELOPERS can check the status of their application, and I am eagerly awaiting an iphone release, I would love to get rid of beejive in favor of this potentially awesome app.

When are you going to fix the mail notification sounds. I still haven’t got any for Facebook mail or Gmail.

Hello,
I just noticed that you are not able to create a metacontact in the 4.1 Trillian? Unless I am missing it somewhere?
Can anyone verify or let me know how to do it?
Thanks,

There are two ways to create a metacontact.
Either hold “Ctrl” to select two or more contacts in your contact list, then right-click and choose “Create Meta Contact…”
Or you can click the “Add” button (looks like “+”) and choose “A MetaContact…” from the menu.
November 14th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Toff,
Thanks, that worked. The + sign doesn’t give me the option to create meta contact. I did not know this other option that worked.
Thanks,
November 14th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
yay, fb chat is fixed! no mail sound, but i’ll take that over no fb chat. thank you!

Seems that adding a metacontact using the “+” button only works in Cordonata.
November 16th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
speaking about metacontact..it would be great to have a workaround for the unique name problem when creating a metacontact. i.e. has anyone else been banging their head against the wall when creating a metacontact and trying to come up with a unique name.
November 16th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
@kspainter… Never had that problem as I use real names for their Metacontact names… But being that a Metacontact name is the actual contact name for the meta medium, I doubt it would be possible to allow multiples of the same… the problem is just like it would be if MSN let multiple users have the same account emails … bob@live.com … if more than 1 person had this it would be a huge mess.

Superb version, lots of very needed corrections for Skype management, thanks a lot! Facebook part gets better and better, that’s great too. Trillian is really a great tool.
A small suggestion : General “Invisible” state -> disconnect or away on Facebook (as there’s no invisible state there)

great build guys, lookin good

let’s say i have an aim contact named bob smith, a yahoo contact named bob smith, a facebook contact named bob smith and a windows live contact named bob smith and then i had a aim contact named bob jones, a facebook contact named bob jones, a windows live conctact named bob jones. how would you solved the problem with a metacontact
November 17th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Create a metacontact named “Bob Smith” and another named “Bob Jones”. You just can’t have 2 metacontacts named “Bob”.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
i CAN’T create a metacontact called bob smith because i have an aim contact named bob smith, a yahoo contact named bob smith, a facebook contact named bob smith and a windows live contact named bob smith. i CAN’T create a metacontact called bob jones because i have an aim contact named bob jones, a facebook contact named bob jones, a windows live conctact named bob jones. is this a bug?
November 17th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Must be, I can do that just fine… I just can’t have 2 metacontacts with the same name.
November 19th, 2009 at 9:34 am
I just installed build 16 yesterday and I think it installed the Ask Toolbar without my permission… anyone else get this?
November 19th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
@johnno, there are 2 boxes to uncheck to make sure that doesn’t happen… a lot of people miss one of them and thus end up in your situation.
If they turn automatic updates back on, then we won’t have to deal with that anymore on every build… I think it really needs to know its upgrading a current install and not ask questions that have already been answered.
November 19th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Hm, is it just on my PC? 4.1 seems to be pretty slow, though blending mode is disabled. Windows need longer to pop up and sometimes trillian freezes or crashes because of the contanct list’s popups. Is there a way to fix it or is it because of beta?
November 19th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
@DiamondNRG – thanks mate. Yeah I caught the one about Google Chrome, I guess my eyes skipped over the Ask Toolbar.

I recently updated to 4.1 beta, and noticed, that in bubble chat mode, the bubbles of my friends chats have got darker blue. I liked it better the in 4.0, light blue, how it is still shown in the preferences > chat > chat views –> bubbles chat image.
Can I change its color back?
November 21st, 2009 at 9:07 pm
@rionpulya, a few edits were made in 4.1 to bubble colors and font colors so that it would all be easier to read. You can change the text color, but not the bubble color. To change the bubble color you would need to manually edit the skin. An overwhelming majority of the users that have commented so far seem to prefer the changes made in 4.1 to the coloring.

fb chat isn’t working…it won’t switch to online
November 24th, 2009 at 11:24 am
I am trouble downloading 4.1 build 16. at first i thought it was a problem with IE, so i tried Google Chrome, but it just gets stuck on “Starting…” and does not continue….could anyone possibly send me the file over Astra?
November 24th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Still got an annoying bug re Twitter updates — or am I not understand the prefs properly? — ‘Notify me when: “Someone posts a new tweet”, “A newsbot posts a new tweet”‘
I would’ve thought the first option would just notify me on new tweets from people I follow who aren’t newsbots, but it still notifies me on newsbots too. Needs a new option: “A non-newsbot friend posts a new tweet”.
November 25th, 2009 at 5:29 am
@DiamondNRG Could you give me a hint, in which xml or ini file is the color of the bubble defined, and what is it called? (There are some color settings for bubble view in Trillian\stixe\elements\DisplayViews.xml, but the difference between 4.0 and 4.1 are only the colors of the urls)
November 28th, 2009 at 1:32 am
Kaspersky suddenly flagged trillian 4.1 build 16 as Trojan-PSW.Win32.Agent.omm trojan virus and won’t load…. i’m currently back to 4.0.119 right now…. what the hecks wrong?? is trillian trying to load a backdoor thingy on us?
December 4th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
@Ottid888 … was discussed tons in the forums, its a false positive, should be fixed now… and 4.1 build 17 should be fine to install.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:46 am
