For anyone who has avoided using some of these themes due to lack of contrast for selected text in the editbox or selected nicks in the nicklist, that should not be a deal-breaker.
The foreground/background colors for selected nicks, or selecting text in the editbox comes from the theme you defined in Windows' control-panel. This is also used for selected lines in menus or dialogs.
It's possible to edit just that 1 setting in windows without changing your entire theme. Or, you could tweak the mirc theme to choose editbox and listbox colors which contrast against the selection colors.
The way to change that setting will be different in different versions of windows. For Windows 7:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Choose Personalization
3. At the bottom of that area, click on "Window Color", which opens a dialog "Window Color and Appearance".
4. If you current theme is currently "unsaved theme", you'll either want to save the current theme to another name so you can return to it, or write down the current RGB colors before you change them.
5. In the 'item' dropdown, choose 'Selected Items'.
6. For now, let's avoid changing the font or the size, and notice the 2 squares labeled 'Color'. The top square is the background color and the bottom square is the text color. These control the text and background color for these selected items both here in mIRC and pretty much all Windows Apps.
7. You'll want to choose a background color that contrasts well against the foreground color you choose, but also contrasts well against the foreground/background colors you choose in the Alt+K dialog for the foreground/background colors in Editbox and Listbox.
8. When you click on either Color square, it opens a window showing a grid of 20 colors to choose from. If you don't like any of those shades, you can click 'Other' where you can create any RGB shade you wish.
9. When you click 'ok' or 'apply' the color setting is changed. It will then change your theme to be 'unsaved theme'. If you like it, you should click 'save theme' to give it a name. If you don't like this change, you could keep trying other color shades or just go back to your existing Control Panel Colors Theme prior to this change.

It's not Wad's palette' standard anymore but "Wad's BlackGr2" is a little more readable IMO, the gray is a lighter.

A screen shot would be nice. That way we could see the theme without installing it first.

Are you asking me? I don't care about that at all or how people do it, I'm just having fun with colors, I barely use or used mIRC in the last 7-8 years anyway. It takes 2 seconds to copy all that and paste it in mirc.ini, this is all extra.

Again: Just a reminder, the HexChat schemes are "temporary", only the palettes and their color order were imported, I don't have much time to play with them at the moment and HexChat seems to have 16 colors + background (please correct me if I'm wrong here) which makes mIRC hard to copy the same themes.
I had to modify few colors that I missed.

Not sure I modified anything else but Tempesta and Tempesta2 background is 2 points lower again, now 24,24,24 (identical to the Zenburn Darker themes), more readable this way.

Hey eahm! Would you consider managing your color schemes by creating a repository for it, over at https://www.mircscripts.nl?

No. At least not right now, you can copy it over if you want but this is all time wasting bs to me.
I started with 3-4 of them just because I got tired I couldn't find anything else other than .mts themes online and schemes are just so easy to make. I don't even create a pastebin account with the same link because I don't care to manage that account. Khaled could give the permission to modify the first post or cleaning is just a small price to pay.

New themes based on https://github.com/ayu-theme/ayu-colors#colors![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/jlU8jVp.png) Ayu Mirage, Ayu Dark and Ayu Light use those palettes from the website. Ayu MirageDark = Ayu Mirage + Ayu Dark Background Ayu MirageBlack = Ayu Mirage + Black Background Ayu DarkBlack = Ayu Dark + Black Background Enjoy guys, I think Ayu MirageDark is my best theme yet.

Ok guys, hopefully this will cover everybody and hopefully it will be the last update... unless someone finds a theme that we absolutely must add  I've added GrEvents to all the themes, I think it makes all of them so much more readable. Enjoy. https://pastebin.com/9ib0Y7XW

Thanks for you work!
Would you consider assembling all your themes into a single GIT repository? Ideally, with screenshots.

No, not right now at least. First of all I don't like to create accounts anywhere, I am very busy keeping my things (work) very tidy and organized and it would take a long time for something that's a 2 mins job to load on mIRC and go through all the themes. Maybe one day. I posted some here few months ago: https://imgur.com/a/cHKyLCn

Ok guys, I know some people that download and check every single version i post here but I'm done, last one here, I personally only switch between 2-3 anyway so from now on I will go backwards and clean my personal list. Black2GrayGr2 renamed to Black2GrayInv and added one with the same Gr2 name. https://pastebin.com/i13gVxrMhttps://pastebin.com/raw/i13gVxrM

...which one do you guys use? I'm quite fond of 'dusk' by slanne (nbs-irc) palette. I don't believe it's in your collection. I ported it to PnP, but here's the color & palette code:
[colors]
n0=dusk,1,15,14,15,14,14,14,9,14,12,14,0,15,15,0,15,6,4,14,14,14,1,15,1,4,14,6,1,1,15
[palettes]

thanks Exit mIRC. Then go to C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\mIRC\. Open up mirc.ini in a text editor. Remove the [colors] and the data, same with [palettes]. Copy all the information in the pastebin. Paste exactly where you had [colors] and [palettes] and save. Run mIRC and click on the color button and select a theme.

This is done quite simply:
1.Close (Exit) your mIRC client completely.
2.Find in the root folder of the mIRC client (where you have it installed) a file with the name "mirc.ini" (make a copy for return).
3.Open the original file "mirc.ini" in a text editor.
4.Find the lines "[colors]" and "[palettes]".
5.Edit under them lines below by adding new lines with color schemes to them. The main thing is to follow the sequence of line numbering "n0,n1,n2,n3...". Then save the update.
6.Run the mIRC client and check the changes by clicking the "Colors" button on the top toolbar.
7.You can now select new color schemes from the ones you added.

You can also replace all of them, the original ones from mIRC are left in there untouched as well.

This is probably the last one/update, over the last decade or so I've only used BlackStuff on all my clients anyway, I'm done tinkering. - Added mIRC Black WebSafe - Cleaned some others, removed all the BlackStuff variations with the "normal red" etc. BlackStuff here: [colors]
n0=BlackStuff,1,6,4,7,2,2,4,2,2,2,2,15,4,7,2,15,2,2,2,4,2,1,15,1,15,14,15,1,1,15,1
[palettes]
n0=16777215,0,12615680,37632,8421631,127,10223772,32764,8454143,8454016,9671424,16776960,16744448,16744703,8355711,13816530 All the themes here: https://pastebin.com/eJb0yxnKhttps://pastebin.com/raw/eJb0yxnKEnjoy and hopefully someone will take over and make more and more variations
