My understanding is that this is configured in the theme. The default theme assumes a white on black terminal. You can find themes better suited to black on white terminals at http://www.irssi.org/themes You may find it easier to modify your existing theme in ~/.irssi/default.theme and using /usr/share/doc/irssi/formats.txt to pick a more suitable colour. Having a quick look at my default.theme, it seems you want to modify the section 'menick = "%Y$*%n";' and change the %Y. You should be able to find more information on how to customise your theme on http://irssi.org or on one of the irssi irc channels. -- David Pashley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
