Well i don't know if this has been suggested but it would be cool if there was a function to set individual letter's colors in the NICKLIST like say we had the nick "John" and be able to select the letter J as red and the rest of the name in orange....

the reason i ask this is because we could make some cool effects like you know on icq when someone on your contact list comes online? well it'll first make that contact sound and then their name will highlight with different colors and there will be one letter with a different color and then it will rotate from the first letter to the 2nd and the to the 3rd and so on till the last letter and then it goes abck to the first again.... i'm sure you guys know what i mean. well that would be cool... and you could also use this in making a specific categorization system.... with people that are ops have a yellow first letter and pink 2nd letter if their..... a ircop... (assuming they have a 2nd letter in the name)
thanks for listening
