New description:
The dialog style has some serious design flaws:
1. colors. unnecessary. Red on white? annoying.
2. wastes way too much space:
{{{
15:54:51 [----] joe:
blablablablablabl
15:55:02 [----] None:
abbiabbiabbimoo
}}}
that's a waste of 4 lines.
how about:
{{{
15:54:51 [----] joe: blablablablablabl
15:55:02 [----] None: abbiabbiabbimoo
}}}
(besides, what does that [----] mean anyway?)
3. "None" - why None? why not my nickname/alias?
4. history: barely readable due to the same as in 1./2. but even worse
since there's not talk about joe and jack, but only from and to.
{{{
15:54:51 [----] FROM joe: blablablablablabl
15:55:02 [----] TO joe : abbiabbiabbimoo
}}}
doesn't make sense. why break with the scheme here all of a sudden?
Apart from that I'd like to stick with licq, works better than any other
icq client now.
