Hi. First off, I should mention that I'm not a coder, and if my ideas are totally useless and/or a pain to debug, lemme know... I recently begun theming irssi after a while of downloading and never finding anything that I liked. I've made a few themes and its making me eat my shoe soon, the syntax is just such a pain up the ass, especially colors. Before I saw the light and switched every computer I own to various distributions of Gnu/Linux and started using irssi, I used that god-awful client called m*rc. I never liked it, but I liked the way *some script name* enabled an easier way to theme everything. It was all named really nicely and almost human-readable... So anyways... here's my ideas;
Colors should be definable, like; black = "#000000" ; white = "#FFFFFF" -- thus, using hex instead. When using colors, the %black would be the obvious choice of syntax. All of these "pubmsgnick", "ownnick" etc, etc really gets to my eyes after a while.. They could really use a freshening up to make them easier to spot, just putting a dot in between "own" and "nick" making it "own.nick" would save my eyes some sheer agony ;) Again, I'm no coder so I dont know whats doable and whats not, but sure hoping it is...
