I extracted to the folder you mentioned in your description. But now I'm stuck, how do I use it?

From the menu select:
Trillian > Trillian Preference

On the Trillian Preference dialog click:
skins

In the list select:
Black Out (Electric)

Click the Close button.

Great work! Wish trillian had some kind of anti-aliasing on the round corners you have used.

Yeah, I faded the edges to black. It is not as noticeable when using darker backgrounds.

Beautiful work, I am definitely set on using this! One comment tho: Is it possible to stop the "electric" effect in the background? Despite the skin's namesake, it kinda affects my vision in the wee hours of the night...
:iconeuphoricallydead:
Are you referring to the preview, regarding the "electric" effect? If so edit the desc.txt file.

Change the following from:

resource/preview1.bmp
360
resource/preview2.bmp
360
resource/preview3.bmp
360
resource/preview4.bmp

I'm actually referring to the skin itself, but I think I discovered the problem: My screen res is running at 1920x1200, so when bumped down, "electric" effect (jagged strings streaming on a 45 degree angle, not the horizontal scrollers) magically disappears! Unfortunately I'm using the latest video driver, so updating is not one of my options for going back to that resolution. Any suggestions?

Thanks for getting back to this so quickly btw :)
:iconnotwith0utincident:
FYI, this is prolly a hardware or settings issue. I chanced upon a website displaying the same effect on their blacks@1920, my apologies for making you go "Hunh?" on a kickass skin (and gratitude for your patience)!
