Love love love the program. Have also used Trillian (bleh) and mIRC, and
xchat aqua is /far/ better than both, by a long shot. However, a couple of
their features would make excellent usability additions for XA:
* Either make the text input box in a height-adjustable "frame," or allow
the option to make it two or three lines high.
* Instead of randomly assigning different colors to different people, allow
users to specify particular colors for particular nicks (as in mIRC's
"highlighting" option). I've noticed xchat is not consistent with assigning
colors to different users, and will often use similar or identical colors for
different people, even when there're only a couple of people in the
channel.
* Also as in mIRC / Highlighting, allow assigning a beep notification to
particular users (or words) when they post a message in channel.
thx for the excellent work...
