Thanks for your comment. I have moved your post into the bug reports section. Technically, mIRC should be using colors that contrast with the background window color. This was a much discussed topic when the auto-color feature was added and I went through a dozen or so different algorithms for choosing contrasting colors and we settled on the one currently in use. I will be taking another look at how it works with a dark window color to see if it can be improved.

When connecting to a server, before the "Welcome" server message is displayed, you may see a "CAP available" message. This indicates that the server supports IRCv3 features. If one of the listed features in "CAP available" is "message-tags", this means that typing notifications are supported.

There is no way to change this behaviour currently.

I moved the button. Thanks anyway.

Okay :-) After 30 years of working on mIRC, sometimes it's difficult to remember why a feature was implemented the way it was. I am pretty sure that at one time mIRC did not support spaces in passwords, so sending PASS with one word was fine. When support for spaces in passwords was added later by clients and/or servers, I probably had to decide whether or not to use a colon in PASS. Using a colon could have broken backward compatibility with existing servers at the time. Then again, this is just conjecture. Since I have never received a report of an IRC server having an issue with this, I am a little worried that adding a colon at this point would in effect create an issue where there technically isn't one with the majority of IRCds.

I, too, very much appreciate the addition of support for a dark mode. However, is there a way to go back to light mode without changing the Windows setting for all applications? I prefer my mIRC to be lighter. I can make do with a color scheme, but it looks pretty awkward mixing light and dark aesthetics.

Thanks, I have now been able to reproduce this issue. It has been fixed for the next version.

FYI, it seems 7.79 gotten better (if not the same). At least it stays responsive and gives the impression of not being hung.
If you changed something in there, thanks! If not, still thanks!

excellent news!

Does mIRC have any plans for native ARM64 support?

can you helpme?

Derp, I completely missed that one. Thanks a ton!

Okay.

That was my fault, it works now. The issue was i haven't defined ! channels in the server support numeric.

I just downloaded the latest update for mIRC (i use this daily). I can not say how thankful i am to now have a dark mode supported on win 11. It is truly softer on the eyes and that helps me a lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

That fixes the problem. I'm trying it out and if any unexpected issues arise I'll update the thread. Anyway, thanks for the support Epic, 10/10

Perhaps you can try:

Mode #desync -b Part:*!*@*

There are no plans to make further changes to how mIRC opens help files. If you are going to create help files for mIRC, you will have to create them in a way that works with it. If this means including a MAP section in your help file, you shoud include a MAP section.

It's just that no matter what I do, I can't get mIRC to open the channel maximized. This is a different machine, at home I've been using mIRC for 20 years with maximized channel without any problem. I'll make a video out of it. When I set this new machine up, the screen display was not aligned correctly, aka maximized windows (not just mIRC) xy position would be out of the screen, with the width/height's end also out of the screen, I couldn't get the screen's menu option to fix this (which I did in the past on different screen/machine), after googling about it I had to use Nvidia's app to resolve the issue to shrink things down, could it be related perhaps?

Edit : Ok I tried to reproduce on video on a different mirc install and couldn't, went back to my main install which had the bug and wiped out mirc.ini to try to recreate and couldn't. I finally reproduced it, I was just missing some steps. Video in pm. It looks like the missing steps are actually using the favorites to join minimized, but also the server list to auto connect & minimized.

There are no betas available for testing at this time. Please download the latest version of mIRC from the mIRC website.

I forgot to set the actual variable sorry:

Are there any networks with a non-client way to suppress all join/part messages in every channel always?

Indeed it looks like Khaled changed the default value without it making it to the changelog!
Well as far as I'm concerned I'd rather see the default still be 0, because in most cases I want lines to be displayed as fast as possible, knowing that not that many lines are going to be displayed so mIRC won't be lacking behind, a point I already made in the original thread but I'm sure there's a good reason it changed.


What is adjusted is an internal value, not the main $fupdate value, they are two differents things. mIRC does not touch the /fupdate value you set.
/fupdate 0 does not disable the function, it simply means that you want mIRC to update the display as much as possible but mIRC may still end up not updating the display as much as possible.

when you're working wih events, you can use ^ to deal with what is returned before mIRC handles it

raw ^321:*: and - before the end of your commands - use haltdef to halt what mIRC is going to do, as the use of ^ is pre-emptive
i think
