I tried the built in highlighting for a while and didn't care for it. Because it removes all control codes and colors the whole line. That does make it easy to spot, but I'd like something less intrusive.
My suggestion is to have an option to only highlight the nick. While leaving all other control codes intact. This is very tricky and a huge pain to do in a script.
a simple example
mirc built in highlight does this:
Hello pball, how are you?
My suggestion is to do this:
Hello pball, how are you?
