Fine by me, except for my one pet peeve. In my experience, hexchat colors a channel orange when there are new messages but none with your nick (or any other string you've nominated for highlighting). When there's a message with your nick, it highlights the channel in green. So, my mind tags 'green' as 'really gotta look at this'. Fine! But, when you get a private message from someone, it colors the sender's name *orange*, not green. This is driving me nuts because my brain has tagged orange as 'meh, not really important', so I keep missing private messages. And I can't find a preference to change this. xchat used the same highlight color for 'nick mentioned in channel' and 'private message', so I wouldn't miss private messages in xchat. Anyone else encountered this?
