https://forums.mirc.com/ubbthreads.php/ub...conf#Post220439I've suggested a Firefox-esque advanced options dialog before and I definitely think that is the best way to implement lots of customisable options whilst keeping the options dialog simple. The options dialog should be for those most-used options. Things like what you want the nicklist to do when you double click on it can be relegated to the advanced options dialog.
Incidentally Khaled said he was planning on making mIRC easier to use for new users in that thread too!
Agreed about XML and it would be great if the scripting language supported XML files too.
Not sure I would agree that the menubar is dead just yet, at least for desktop apps. Maybe for Windows 8/Metro, but mIRC is still a desktop app and the menubar is still commonly used in such apps. The menubar has been deprecated by the ribbon in some apps but I don't think that has a place in mIRC.
