[edit] References

SkinXML Reference

An invaluble tool, the reference is used by all skinners, from beginner to advanced - if you're interested in skinning, then getting to know this guide will occur whether you like it or not :). This guide documents all known areas of Trillian skinning from <icontrol> names, to states of all the different <control>s.

Stixe Reference

Stixe is a layer of 'shorthands' on top of SkinXML that simplifies the creation of skins based on window elements. Look up the list of elements, or read about settings.ini.

[edit] Tutorials/Other

Skinning Tutorial

The only tutorial written for the current versions of Trillian in current existence. There are 5 parts to this guide at present, aimed at getting you familiarised with SkinXML. There are graphics provided if you just want to get to grips, or it should hopefully be open-ended enough to allow you to work alongside it with your own project.

Astra Skin Development Showcase

Current skins in development for Trillian Astra.
