TDE, sadly, has not got kopete-trinity quite ready to be torified. I've tried, but it always crashes; I do keep hoping that it will eventually be updated, upgraded, reinvented, whatever. In the meanwhile, might I suggest psi-plus? I have been using it with few issues for at least a couple years now. I can get it to use my TDE colors, too, with a bit of finessing and tweaking (but that's another thread, and we already discussed it earlier under tqt3 or something like that). I've also downloaded about a gazillion other Linux chat clients to try out, but haven't got to them yet because psi-plus is really good. https://psi-plus.com/ It's also cross-platform, which is good if you are ever forced to use a non-Linux machine. (Say, when the spooks are torturing you by forcing you to listen to the complete recorded works of The Shaggs, or maybe something even worse.) Well, it works for me, for the moment.
