Trillian Skins

[Brian]

From what I can remember is when I would install Trillian skins, all I did was to drag the skin into the skins folder. Not needing WinZip to do the work for me.

Perhaps you used the zip folders built into windows ME/XP, or it was a .tsz and you're using Trillian Pro 2. However, most skins still require you to unzip them and copy them to the skins folder, like Spike says.

OK!
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 trillian\skins\<skinname>, not trillian\skins and not trillian\skins\<skinname>\<skinname>.

You can try the Trillian Website Skin Section. Best skins I know of. There's also DeviantART's Trillian and Trillian Pro skins.
As for AIM. AIM doesn't have skins to my knowledge. What AIM does has is *expressions*. You can check out AIM Expressions.com.

Actually, AIM does have skins but you will need Aimutation for the skins to work. And a site for AIM skins would be the Aimutation website or DeviantArt

The deviantart links have moved, they're now:

Trillian (all versions)

• Trillian 0.7x (free) - these skins work with Trillian Pro too, but some bits might not look right
• Trillian Pro 2.0 - some these will work on the free trillian too, but a lot won't
• Trillian Pro 1.0 - superseded by Pro 2.0, but there's lots of good stuff here

hey I downloaded a few skin from that site, but they do not seem to work. They do not show up in the skins menu in the drop down screen.
