Trillian Astra screenshots

I just installed the latest build of Trillian Astra (you knew it was in beta testing, didn't you?). I've got some screen shots I put in an album for your viewing pleasure. I have five invites to the beta program...

Here's the album link.

By the way, anyone can create or add photos to albumns. Check it out on the "Community" menu!

Jeff, I've installed Trillian Astra 4.0 Build 103, and I am amazed at the amount of eye-candy on offer. Although it's still a Beta, most things seem to be working well; it hasn't crashed at all and is surprisingly light on CPU resources (approximately 4MB even though I have it on all the time).

It does have a very rich feature list I'll give it that! I tried it - and decided it wasn't for me - but it did function well, no problems, no issues.

I was annoyed that there didn't seem to be any opt-out for the desktop Weather (at least not on mine there wasn't). Sure you can uninstall it afterwards, but I could not find a way to NOT install it in the first place.

Good point patndoris. There are two "adware" programs that the Trillian Astra installer will "invite" you to install: A weather app and the Ask.com toolbar. You can opt out of both of them during installation, so be sure you read the options carefully.

I hate those things! I realize that Trillian is ad-free, but really don't appreciate the so-called "helpful" extras they push.
