[help] Trillian - Adding Text Under Name

I would like to have the users away message under the username in the buddy list. I am including a Screeny of my desktop with my current Trillian skin as well as a screenshot of what I would like.

I apologize for the size

My Desktop with Trillian as iChat:

MY DESKTOP

and here is a screenshot of my request in action:

iChat

As you see, the second screenshot of the app shows the away message under the users name.

If this cannot be done, then is there a way to use the 'edit extra information' option to display under the name?

thanks for your help

anal time: No all-emoticon posts. If you can't think of ONE word to say, the post is probably worthless.

I will be bothering people about this for a week, then I will begin to delete posts.

I'm with Duckie on this. I'd love to be able to do this with the IChat skins for Trillian. Anyone know of a way?

i dont know if it can be done. atleast i dont see an option under trillian. and i dont think it would be a hidden option in the xml's.

how about trying over at trillians message board. maybe some one over there can be more usefull.

good luck

duckie

this is a gread modding question and i'm shocked nobody has implemented into a skin

my guess is its not possible perhaps

if u do find out please share info - would be very helpful

I would love to know how I could do that too.

I also hope someone finds a way to display the away message under the user too.

That can be done in photoshop,(or whatever). the images can be found in the trillian skin folder under buddy.bmp. if im not mistaken. u can just put in what ever u want to show up instead of msn or aim.

#187881

i dont' understand how changing this bmp will show all off my contacts buddy icons in my buddy list? please explain with a little more detail are u saying u can only substitute the aim/icq/yahoo/irc/msc icons?

ok, sorry for confusing u. your gonna go to whatever skin your using in the trillian folder. lets day danimators ichat skin. u would go to ichat. and then go to images folder. and from there open up buddy.bmp with photoshop or another image editing softwere. and u will see the 5 defualt icons in that skin for aol, aim. yahoo, irq. and just replace that with whatever u would like in its place, but it hasto be the same size.

#188020

ok thats what i thought

all u are changing is the icq/aim/msn/yahoo icons and its not actually THEIR buddy icon they have correct?

correct

#188051

but on topic is there a way to do what this thread was originaly about

#189621

I'm just wondering how this is going because I would love to see this working.

#192195

guys

i just found the closest thing to what we want

heres the info:

Description

This plugin's main function is to duplicate the behavior of the official Yahoo and MSN clients by placing each contact's current status next to their name in the contact list. Another feature is it's ability to keep track of contact's online and away/idle times, even for mediums which don't normally provide this information and for contact's who have disabled this information.

http://plugins.estmatic.net/statusupdater/index.html

so its beside name instead of below but it does work - i'm using now

perhaps this plugin can be hacked to place text below name

enjoy
