Editing Trillian (software) (section)

=== Plugins (Discontinued) ===
Trillian is a [[proprietary software|closed-source]] application, but the Pro version can be extended by [[plug-in (computing)|plugins]]. Plugins by Cerulean Studios itself include spell-check, weather monitor, a mini-browser (for viewing AIM profiles), [[Winamp]] song title scroller, stock exchange monitor, [[RSS (file format)|RSS]] feedreader, and conversation abilities for the Logitech G15 keyboard, as well as a plug-in for the XMPP and Bonjour networks.  Others have developed various plug-ins, such as a ''games'' plug-in which can be used to play [[chess]] and [[Draughts|checkers]], a protocol plugin to send [[NetBIOS]] messages through Trillian, a plug-in to interact with [[Lotus Sametime]] clients, a plug-in to interact with [[Microsoft Exchange Server|Microsoft Exchange]], a [[POP3]] and [[Internet Message Access Protocol|IMAP]] email checker, or an automatic translator for many European languages to and from English.

Trillian 5.1 for Windows and later included a plug-in that allows you to chat and make calls on Skype without Skype being installed. As of July 2014, Skype is no longer accessible from the Trillian client, as the Skype plug-in no longer works (some had been able to use older versions of the Trillian client, but now these also no longer work with Skype.)

Plugins are available for free and are hosted on the official web site, but most need Trillian Pro 2+ to run.
