Green Machine OCTANE

Green Machine OCTANE represents an interface skin for Trillian, the popular instant messaging platform. It's actually made by the IM's developers. Although the software package hasn't received updates for a very long time, it's still compatible with the latest Trillian edition, whether it's a free or pro version.

The skin is inspired by Arctic Cat, which is a North American manufacturer of all-terrain vehicles as well as snowmobiles. It adopts black, grey and green tones, changing the look of the main window of Trillian as well as popup menus (Trillian, View, Help).

If Trillian is already installed on the PC, then it's only necessary to double-click the downloaded .tsv file to apply the new skin. The instant messenger is immediately loaded if it wasn't already running prior to opening the Green Machine OCTANE file.

To change the skin back, open the Trillian menu, select Preferences, reach the Customization area (on the bottom) and click Skins. After picking a preferred skin, you have to restart the application to finalize changes. If you like this new skin and wish to keep it safely stored on the PC, making sure you'll always be able to find it in the Preferences menu, move the downloaded .tsv file to the Skins subfolder of Trillian's installed directory.
