Yes!

Since my switch from PC to Mac I’ve had to find a new instant messaging program which preferably has support for multiple protocols. The application of choice here seems to be Adium, which I’ve been using since I got my Mac. The main drawback compared compared to Miranda (which I’ve been using on my various PCs) is that it lacks support for IRC.

Until today, that is. Today I found out that the current beta of Adium has support for IRC, and it also supports SSL connections to the server you use (provided that the server supports it too, of course). Being the old school user of IRC that I am I immediately noticed that the layout of group chat windows in Adium didn’t quite fit my mental image of what IRC chat windows should look like. This is where Adiums styles come to the rescue!

The internets provided me with this excellent style: irc 2.0. It also has inverse color schemes for those of you who don’t like the black background.

My life as a happy Mac-user continues.
