GuiStyle for Trillian Astra is based on the Visual Style of the same name created by JJ Ying. JJ has kindly allowed me to bring GuiStyle over to Trillian 3.1 and now, Trillian Astra (4.1). You can see the original VS here: [link]
===========
Many thank you's to JJ. Ying for allowing me to port his Visual Style [link] to Trillian! There are eight (8) themes/color schemes to choose from, and plenty more can be added with a few tweaks. Please leave a comment if you download, and be sure to add this to your favorites should you enjoy it
===========
To install, download the file and either open in WinRAR (or a similar program) and extract the 'GuiStyle' folder to \Trillian\skins OR download the file and rename it to 'GuiStyle.TSZ' then double click the newly renamed file and it should automatically install in your \Trillian\skins folder.
===========
If you find any problems, be sure to message me and I will try to address them as quickly as possible.

Thanks for this skin , I loved it, I have one problem though , after the install the main window was there, but when I restarted it again the main window disappeared and I can't get it to show up again. I uninstalled trillian a few times and removed everything from the reg manually but it still won't show up. Any ideas on how I can fix that ? I haven't installed the skin back either . Thanks in advance. 


Hi... I had been using this skin for several years, pretty much since it came out. I recently updated first to Trillian Astra 4.1, and then the 5 Beta, with a paid account on Windows 7. The only skin that I can use is the red one; I don't get the option for the other colors. I tried both options for installing it; the GuiStyle.TSZ method locked up and crashed both 4.1 and 5. Any idea what the problem is? I really miss using this skin. 


hi, just two things. firstly, thank you, i've been using this skin for a long time now and i really adore it. i mean, it's so clean and aesthetically pleasing to me that i have used it while [secondly] ignoring an issue that i can't seem to get around.
i use guistyle dark, and everything but the drop down menus seem to be in order. the drop down menus are black text on black background - only when mousing over the text does it (the text) show up in white. this seems to be the case for all skin variants except for straight-up guistyle. do you have any idea what might cause this? i've tried looking for answers and tweaking settings every which way, but this is something i just haven't been able to rectify.

First; thanks for the praise! 
Second; There are a few issues with dark skins on Trillian. To my knowledge there is no way around it but I don't really keep up with the Trillian skinning scene anymore. There really isn't a fix without completely re-writing the skin in XML and adding custom items, sorry.

Unfortunately themes are only available for Trillian Pro users. However, Trillian Pro is actually on sale right now for $15. Definitely worth it, some great Pro-only features; [link]
It;s also free with TrialPay, definitely something to check out.
