How can u manual set your status to idle anytime you want on trillian (aim). I'm currently using 3.1 (Pro).
I have search for plugins, and settings. but no luck. Thanks!

Well I was messing around in Trillian a bit, so here is what you must do step by step:

1. First right click on the system tray icon and select Preferences.
2. Select "Away Mode" and under Away Messages click "Change"
3. Type whatever in the away message, this is supposed to show idle so probably just a "I am currently away from the computer" is good enough. Then click the Advanced Button.
4. Now you should see a box that shows the Mediums and Status, scroll down to AIM and select it, then in the drop down status menu, choose idle.
5. Set your away message and you are instantly idled!

Hope that helps!
