Is it possible to change the format of how nicknames are shown in a chat? e.g. <nickname> to (nickname)

If yes, where is this found? How do you accomplish this?

Thanks

With a script.

Look up mIRC theming scripts, as it's easiest to use a pre-made script, since there are a lot of subtle technical challenges in theming mIRC properly.

A simple script, however, would be:

Code:
on ^*:TEXT:*:#:echo -mbflirt # ( $+ $nick $+ ) $1- | haltdef


Again, I stress the word "simple".

You can google on the words "theme for mirc" or "mirc themes", cos the code you got from arg0 will only change the text someone else writing to a channel, you maybe want to edit the messages in your own text, query and ctcp.

Sorry for taking so long to reply back but life got pretty hectic real fast.

Anyways, Thank you guys for pointing me on the right direction. I was able to find many mIRC themes. Some are good, others are really crazy and the majority are really old. It is better than nothing.

You can write your own, everything you need is in the help file, on ctcp, notice, input, text, dcc and also look at the raw events, search google for "mirc raw" or "mirc numerics" and you will find them, true raw you can change channel modes and many other texts..
