The 'Pack Rat is a Trillian SkinPack changer for Trillian versions 2.0 and above.

There are three basic modes to use it. The first is just launching it. It allows the user to make skinpack changes from there. Secondly, an installer could launch it with command line parameters (see below) to automatically select various skinpack settings to set a skin's desired skinpacks. Third a PackRat.ini file located in the same directory will start the program with desired skinpacks.

Works with Trillian 2.0 and above. (Astra support in progress.) I have no plans of supporting older versions. Win98/ME are not supported. It should work with the unicode update. I do not know and cannot test.

Permissions

The whole purpose is to have a small little app that skins can include with their installer so they don't have to reinvent the wheel to set their desired settings. With that in mind, skins have full permission to redistribute unmodified versions in their skins. (it's about 50KB compressed)

Version History

  • 3.1.05 (2005.10.11)
    • Added a /norestart option to bypass the 'restart Trillian' dialog
    • Added a /noini option to bypass packrat.ini
    • Fixed a bug with an uninitialized HBRUSH used in the banner
    • Fixed a bug with auto-update giving a 'Trillian not found' message
  • 3.1.04 (2005.10.09)
    • Checks for win98/ME and attempts to exit nicely
      • (These are not supported since I no longer have machines to test these on
    • Added [configure] buttons for all iconpacks
      • ***SOMETHING NEW*** This now allows emoticon / sound / interface configuration as well as iconpacks.
      • Checks for Stixe Studio to configure STIXE skins
    • Added preview buttons
    • polished up trillian locating algorithm a little
    • 'Pack Rat is now included in <a href="../configurator.php">The Configurator</a> and replaces the Trillian Advanced Settings dialog
  • 3.1.03
    • Fixed a bug with the /ini command line parameter.
    • Added preview buttons. (On a skin, it launches The Configurator to do the preview. This is the only way I know to support multi-frame previews without adding all of 'that' code here.)
    • Added a [Config] button for iconpacks if it detects The Configurator and that the iconpack is configurator enhanced
  • 3.1.02
    • Decided to bump the version numbering up to reflect the Trillian version for which it was designed, so from now on, the full versioning will be [Trillian version].release.build
    • Added a semi-autoupdate feature. If the user has a newer version of the program in Trillian\addons\PackRat, it will switch to using that version. If that one is older it will copy this version there. This means skinners won't have to update PackRat / their skins with every version of Trillian, as long as the user has run another more recent version.
    • Along with this, I added a '/noupdate' flag so a skin can force the current version to be used without searching for a newer one. (NOT RECOMMENDED, since PR will probably break with a version of Trillian in the future.)
    • Added a 'restart Trillian' option.
    • Added a some version request support for possible future updates
    • Added support for... well, something that will be released soon :D
  • 0.01.00
    • Initial release
