Hi, I just tried Trillian for the first time. Overall an awesome program but I figured I would bring up a few suggestions incase anyone reads this.

1) I found the darkling skin to be more user friendly than the default one (darkling has a normal toolbar on the console).

2) Combining connections with the contact list bar would even improve on the very efficiency of the design, IMO.

it would look like:
[+] Connections (6)
[+] ICQ Users Online (5/25)
[+] AIM Users Online (4/64)
[+] Favorites (25)
[+] URL Grabber (56)

3) Any sort of option to get a normal nicklist on IRC? The likelyness of not wanting to see whose opped or whose a normal person is very slim..

The things I thought were awesome:
1) Scrolling channel topics (nice touch)
2) Combined chat functionality obviously
3) the fact that I no longer had to put up with ICQs ugly chat windows
4) The very flexible and open ended design

Keep up the great work, this program looks like it has tons of potential! I wish microsoft products would remember positions as well as trillian windows

Cya,
