does anyone know a way to skin trillian like any other window using windowblinds rather than putting it in the exclusion list and having to use trillians own skins which dont match any help would be very helpfull

Unfortunately, no you cannot. Trillian doesn't use any of the standard Windows UI elements and instead provides its own skinning engine.

thats such a shame really as it looks totally out of place most of the time. i have also noticed that windowblinds never seems to skin yahoo messanger, it changes the colour of the window but doesnt skin it, is there a way to force windowbinds to skin it or to force yahoo mess to accept the skin (i have tryed to force skin it with the exclusion list functions but it still doesnt work) any ideas??? is there a messanger client i can skin like a normal window that works like trillian or is trillian the only one to cover multiple messangers.

There are a few others, but trillian is the only one I know of that is working properly right now. If you need someone to port a windowblinds skin (with permission from the author, of course) send me an email.
