Anyone had a chance to try it out since it went Beta (or anyone managed to get an invite for it?) Just got my invite a few days ago and have been loving the changes they made to it (Facebook with IM, they finally put an IRC plugin back in, Twitter, MySpace IM, new UI plain rocks. www.trillian.im :D
those ARE themeable...and to be honest, I find them FAR better than any other default smiley set. I think you can DL new smiley sets from their website even...
Well, if anyone is really intent on testing Astra (as in, will use it, not just toss it away after using it for 5 minutes) feel free to PM me for an invite.
I used it back then, but never got accepted into the alpha...had a lot more memory leake & stability issues then. I'm throughly surprised with how stable the beta is; I've found some UI fit & finish bugs in it, but they're nothing massive.
Like I said, UI fit and finish bugs. They are not high priority when you're working on functionality. Besides, who the hell uses pink?
