AdiIRC

Ok, now that custom colors to toolbars landed (#1619), I'm working to port the DarkMonokai (screenshot @ Windows) Quassel theme:

Considering the natural difference in features between apps, I tried to make it most close to the original theme as possible.

You can see here: bogus custom toolbar icons (by scripting, toolbar, just to take the screenshot), treebar custom/network icons, messages scrollbar hidden and fake window title by /titlebar Quassel. No scripts used at all, just Adi config.

Work in progress.

Just an inspiration for the new possibilities. :)

Pereba's grey theme.

...

Found a tiny video of my theme GreenOnBlack. I lost this setup in a HDD issue months ago.

There is a small showcase for the new spell checker feature. One of best implementations that I already seen in a software.

Here is another showcase for a minimal AdiIRC interface:

To achieve the same result as in video:

1. In view menu uncheck: menubar, switchbar, toolbar and statusbar;
2. Resize the window to a small size;
3. In options -> Treebar -> uncheck Use Folders and Show window icons.
4. In options -> Windows -> change Form border to None and Topic box to off;
5. (Optional) In Options -> Messages -> uncheck Show Scrollbar.

You are done. Now to toggle menubar, press <alt> key, for the treebar, ctrl + g. And finally to drag the window around, keep pressed <alt> + left mouse button.

If you are a mIRC user and migrated to AdiIRC, you may have noticed that the default mIRC font Fixedys, doesn't work on AdiIRC inputbox. This is because .net Richtext box used in this element supports only True Type fonts. Original Fixedys made by Microsoft is from 80s!

Bellow is my solution to make it looks very close to current mIRC:

AdiIRC on top and mIRC bottom.

Yes, this image is not Photoshopped, I can assure you. I just used some custom icons stolen from mIRC, of course and, changed some configs:

1. Install the basic theme mIRC Wannabe by kr0n, available in themes section ;
2. In Options -> Windows -> Topic box -> change to Off;
3. In Options -> Messages -> uncheck Make certain part of messages bold;
4. In Options -> Messages -> remove the bold char around User and Emote fields.
5. In Options -> Messages/Nicklist -> Font -> change both to Fixedsys Excelsior 3.01 size 12.
6. Some extras like the /titlebar I'll let you find by yourself. ;)

Hey hey! The font Fixedsys Excelsior True Type improved is available in author website here, it's free.

The font will be pixel perfect to original Fixedsys only if you set it to size 12.

Now that's possible to set custom font to topic and inputbox, here is a demo:

In instance, font used was Stencil and Segoe Print on respective boxes.

A cool feature landed this week to AdiIRC beta: Nick Column Divider! The nicknames are right aligned for better reading. This is so freaking cool!

Some highlights:

1. Custom size per channel;
2. Color and size customizable;
3. Auto hide or fixed? your choose;
4. Auto resize column based on users nick size. Yes, maybe a exclusive feature. It is amazing!
5. And more...

WeeChat flavor.

After to see this image bellow comparing line spacing, I remembered that AdiIRC has an option to change the that is chat area, so here is how this looks on my end.

I'm using the mode Paragraph from Options -> Messages -> Spacing.

This reminds me some old webchat, good times. I want to see how long I will use it. The visual result is looking good for my eyes, but at same time it is huge waste of space, buffer scroll is the twice at least.

Sharing in case someone was looking for something similar.

Havent messed with my theme in quite a while and dont use irc as much as i used to but thought I would post my theme.

Two new interesting features landed recently:

#1 - Treebar unread counter¶

#2 - Images support to chat area.¶

Yeah, icons, emoticons/smiles, any image to make your buffer area even more cool :D

Also supported to insert by scripting!

Want to try? So join the edge team typing /betaup in your AdiIRC.

A neat feature were introduced in AdiIRC 1.9.6, Nicklist Tooltips with text parsed as scripts.

In my example I added user hostname, some fancy unicode icons, common channels, clones checking, idle time and custom note.

The limit is your imagination.

New AdiIRC 1.9.7 feature: Nick List Icons.

A simple yet powerful gui.

I wrote a tiny script as proof to mimic as much as possible the Twitch chat interface in AdiIRC. It takes the advantage of built in support for emoticons.

Things used here:

• Font set to Arial, basic colors, both most close possible to Twitch default.
• /Fakeraw to insert useful info to topicbox (there is no topic in Twitch irc).
• $imagechar to load icons directly to buffer (turbo, mod, subscriber, emoticons).
• $msgtags to retrieve ircv3 tags used extensively by Twitch to delivery info per user.
• Random nick colors using the built in support for unlimited RGB colors.
• More minor changes.

Any doubt that AdiIRC is very customizable?

New feature landing in AdiIRC 1.9.7, custom topmenu items:

The script of gif above is available at Emoticons topmenu example.

Little showcase of a wannabe KiwiIRC customization.

Theme inspired in Colloquy client.

Work in progress.

Theme by vif @ freenode.

ScRaMbLe colors

Landed in version 1.9.7 the option to set custom selected color to nicklist. So simple, I always wanted that to match my theme color, default blue Windows color is boring :P

Rocky road:

• Options -> Colors -> Nicklist -> Selected background.

YES!!! A built in debugger for MSL scripts. Landed in AdiIRC 1.9.9.

Check Wiki Debug command for more info.

Great news!! A new improved Networks List landed to AdiIRC 1.9.9.

Some highlights:

• Support for automatic authentication, including SASL (certificate and plain text), classic server password and nickserv, Challenge Auth (Quakenet).
• TLS and STARTTLS, both compatible to SASL.
• Prioritize IPV6.
• Filter listing.
• Control if windows opens minimized.
• Delay to start joining channels and between joins.
• And many more...

Huge improvement, bellow a tiny video overview:

Enable the new interface right now in Options -> Server -> [✔] Use new Serverlist.

Ps: for old users, previous interface still available to help in manual migration process. Check /serverlist command parameters to open old/new gui.
