Decal v1.02b (16may09)
For Trillian Astra

This is my first official release of this skin, so there's probably a bunch of bugs in there still. Feel free to message me with any bugs you do come across (Trillian forums, note me, email me, im me).

This skin was influenced by the icon work of David Lanham. I'd seen a picture with the music icon of David's in it and fell in love with the shade of green and the whole sticker style. At the time I had no idea who had created it so went on a thorough search with no luck.

Eventually I stumbled upon a mention of the whole sticker style and the name David Lanham, and armed with that info I tracked them down to here [link]

So, I'm about 2 years behind the trend, but I still think the whole style rocks, and I hope you do to!

1.02b Update (16may09)
- Fixed some mail counts not lining up too well.
- Fixed some system text colours in message windows when in darker themes.
- Fixed some misaligned icons in tile mode.
- Added a chat view preview.
- Fixed the profile editor buttons again. Should all be right now, also fixed the window sizing formula so it should be the right size now.
- Fixed the message window authorisation requests so they're working again.
- Slight fix to the template windows.
- Added the prefs button to the settings window
- Trimmed all the excess images from the folders that weren't being used.
- Trimmed a bunch of code that wasn't being used too. File size is just over 500kb zipped now, and memory usage/speed is improved.

Nice to see Astra skins - this by far the best Trillian skin I have used in 4 yrs - excellent work.

Pretty Nice. I do like the chat windows. Simeple and clean.

Hey Juz.

Any chance that in Oilbased the text can just be white on the contact list. It makes it tricky to read with the gray on gray sometimes.

This is gorgeous! My only advice would be to have the text white on the black skin (or even a light grey). Also, there seems to be an errant white pixel at the right-most point of the last letter in most of the names on my buddy list. It's a minor annoyance, but I'm sure it could be fixed... I've got it in a bunch of names, but not in the one name that ends with an a.

But even regardless of that, this skin is lovely. Thank you! :)

Thanks for the comments!

The white pixel you're seeing is a bug in Astra that I am hoping gets fixed before they go gold with a release.

As for the colour - I'll look back into that... Can't even remember what the text colour I am using is. :)

How do you minimize? I like the way it looks but the lack of a minimize button disturbs me.
