IRC for XP
Sunday, March 31, 2002 by Mercury | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Thanks to Alexandrie's inspiration, I'm getting back into skinning WB. Obviously, lots has changed with it since I did my last skin so I'll be needing to harrass the guys at Stardock again. 
Any suggestions for an IRC client which works well on XP?
TIA,
Merc

Is the new version any better than previous ones? Last time I used it (over a year ago) it had a nasty habit of blowing up at exactly the wrong moment!

So far bersirc looks OK, tends to gag a bit when you list channels on the bigger servers but works fine on Stardocks.

On Windows 2000 I have a problem with besirc and WindowBlinds. Seems Beseric uses some non standard title bar and menus that would get into a fight with WindowBlinds. You'd see the Besircs title bar, then WindowBlind's, then back to besircs. I had to exclude besirc from WB skinning.

Thanks guys! It's great to be back in the community, I've been lurking for awhile now. 
I'm gonna start off slow, just a few skin updates until I get accustomed to the new features in WB.
From what I've seen so far, my old method of manually editing UIS files is going to be a thing of the past so learning SkinStudio is going to have to take priority.

Merc, you can still use notepad to make the UIS files. I did on the new ones I enetered on the Olympics. After the skin was done I went into skin studio to see what features were out of date and what new ones could be added. You're right though, there are a ton of new things to skin and settings to set in the latest version.

GreenReaper still uses notepad
SkinStudio is useful for generating reference documentation, though.
