mnathani: yeah it is just a setting in your irc.conf
phlux: mind sharing your settings for that?  i like how compact it is
up_the_irons: http://paste.ewnix.net/?show=91 I think that should take care of it
phlux: sweet tnx!
phlux: do you use the default colors, or have you modified them?

(sorry for the off topic) so, if i'm pretty happy with irssi (lets say 10 years of use has taken its toll) - why upgrade to weechat?
s/upgrade/which
*s/upgrade/switch
Well if you're already regarding it as an upgrade, then you should "upgrade" :P
And frankly the only reason I can give is "to try it out". I tried it, but returned to irssi because I'm comfortable with it, it configured the way I like it, etc.
weechat has more bells and whistles, which is great. But in the end, I settled for what I already knew well.
jbergstroem: haha, I was exactly thinking the same thing until recently, never looked really into weechat, probably because of its ridiculous name, but then I looked at the website and I was sold immediatly, seeing its features
i don't really miss anything. guess my strongest argument atm is that its actively maintained.
most important reasons to switch for me: sane split window handling (and also vsplit), and its relay feature is also much better than irssiproxy
http://www.irssi.org/ChangeLog  irssi *IS* actively maintained
(granted, there are some 12 month gapes in it. but it IS)
*gaps
Yeah, weechat does splits much better. And I liked that I could have multiple channels on-screen at once.
brycec: you run trunk?
Oh and weechat supports scripting languages besides perl (and there's another one hacked-in to irssi, either ruby or python).
jbergstroem: Nein
17:27:55 ::: Irssi: Client: irssi 0.8.15 (20100403 1617)
jbergstroem: I would say, "if i'm pretty happy with _______", where ______ can be *anything*, then don't switch ;)
jbergstroem: i switched from irssi to weechat because i wasn't happy with some things in irssi; in any other case, i would say stick with what makes you happy
i wanted vsplit and also the input line to be under the actual channel, so then i don't accidentally put something meant for privmsg in a  public chan (which has happened, and it sucked ;)
i can script plugins in ruby too, which is a big plus for me
But I would say, "if I'm pretty happy with ___", it won't hurt to try something else with an open mind.
