Thanks for your suggestion. I "upgraded" from Pidgin to Astra as soon as Astra become available via beta. I used Pidgin for longer than you might guess; and, definitely prefer it over the last generation Trillian because of the active plugin support...
Please dont beat me up for saying this... because it might make you pretty upset, but lets face it, Pidgin badly needs a complete overhaul to update itself for modern OS's; and, also really could use the ability to run in a browser without having to install a client... even Meebo does that. I'll definitely consider switching back to Pidgin; but, waiting for a completely renovated, next generation version (the same way classic Trillian evolved to Astra may take years to catch up. Below is a screenshot of my desktop with Astra... blending into all modern day apps... However, no matter how great Astra is, it still doesnt have Squeezebox support damnit! :) Astra: [image: http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h283/mkanet/2324553.jpg] Pidgin: [image: http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h283/mkanet/eeb527f1ec7a-1.jpg] cooppw02;515979 Wrote: > SBS usage accounts for only a tiny slice of all media player usage, and > Trillian is similarly (un)popular.
