Skinzine

Volume 1: Chat with style



Welcome to SKINZINE! The deviantART Skins & Themes Weekly magazine, featuring the most impressive works on the S&T galleries.

In this first issue, I've selected a few Instant Messaging Apps with skinnable capabilities. The reviews were taken from the official websites.

Give these apps a try, and pick your favourite one after checking these examples of how amazing can you customize each one, using hundreds of skins available at the Skins & Themes galleries.

Trillian


Official Website: [link]

Trillian™ is a fully featured, stand-alone, skinnable chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC. It provides capabilities not possible with original network clients, while supporting

standard features such as audio chat, file transfers, group chats, chat rooms, buddy icons, multiple simultaneous connections to the same network, server-side contact importing, typing notification, direct

connection (AIM), proxy support, encrypted messaging (AIM/ICQ), SMS support, and privacy settings.

Featured skins:


Miranda IM


Official Website: [link]
Miranda IM is a multi protocol instant messenger client for Windows. Miranda IM uses very little memory and is extremely fast. It requires no installation and can be fitted on a single floppy disc. Its

powerful plugin system makes Miranda IM very flexible. Only the most basic features are built in, but there are currently more than 350 free plugins available for download that allows users to extend the

functionality of Miranda IM.

Featured skins:


ICQ


Official Website: [link]
Community, people search and messaging service! One of the most used and still growing IM networks. You can easily find new friends on this huge community. A must try for eveyone!

Featured skins:


MSN/WLM


Official Website: [link]
Connect and share instantly on one of the world’s most popular IM network. Call your friends' mobile or landline phones.* It's affordable, both within the US and internationally. And calling someone's PC is

always free.

Featured skins:


AIM


Official Website: [link]
AIM helps you manage your busy social life. With room on your Buddy List feature for over 500 friends, you can IM all night. Challenge them to fierce online games, make your stories come to life with photo

sharing and much more. Plus, your AIM buddy profile is a great place to leave taunting messages for your friends.

Sweet, definitely resourceful. Just changed my Trillian skin, and I was just reminded that I want to get Miranda. ;P Great idea for a weekly magazine.

Web Browsers are next week? Gah, I need to get a beta out for my new Firefox theme by then. :ohnoes:
