DeviousTrillian

DeviousTrillian is a simple tool that facilitates a skin for the Trillian instant messenger, whose appearance is inspired by the DeviantArt website. It can be used by those who want to personalize its look.

The skin's not wrapped in a setup kit. Instead, the downloaded files can be copied to the "skins" folder of Trillian's installed directory. It's necessary to manually create a subfolder in "skins" to place the downloaded files within, whether its name is "DeviousTrillian" or anything else.

The package contains images, the color scheme, description, a preview, and the settings configuration. If Trillian was already launched prior to copying the skin's files, it's not required to restart it just yet.

By opening the "Preferences" panel from the "Trillian" menu, users can find and access the "Skins" section to look for the DeviousTrillian skin, as well as select and confirm it.

A message dialog pops up in the center of the screen in the following step, where Trillian asks for confirmation to close and restart itself, in order to finalize setup and apply the new skin. Changes can be noticed in the main and chat windows. However, these do not affect some of the panels, such as the activity history and preferences.
