Ok this is a tough one.. is more like a question than anything else.. is there a way that i can fix the nick list to have icons ? if so please post something or any ideas of ir you already know of anyone that has one .. Thank you

user interface enrichment has been discussed at great lengths in the past. Everything from emote icon smilies to personal avatars (nicklist icons) has been debated.

By all means, you may open another thread on this topic, but I am afraid you will simply come to these two main conclusions.

[*] 1. Users of mIRC don't want to see it bloated down with useless eyecandy that distracts from it being an IRC client. mIRC has gotten noticably slower over the years, and primarily where display (user interface) is concerned.
[*] 2. Users will finally argue that, if such features are ever added, that they better be disabled by default. I think the main reason for this, is mIRC users don't want to see it become another Instant Messaging client like AOL or ICQ or MSN. We are quite happy with its simple and plain look. It grows on us.

Err, sorry, I read this as a feature suggestion.

no, there is no way to do this currently.

there's a dll to do it.
nicklist.dll

That will override mIRC's nick coloring feature though. While that is acceptable for 90% of people, I personally don't like overriding features

My advice to people making scripts and DLL's: Enhance, Don't override carelessly.

BTW: Do you really want to use files with comments like "it hogs memory and when there are too many users in the channel the nicklist crashes :-/", I know I wouldn't. I have heard NickLust.dll is better, But that also overrides mIRC's nick coloring feature.

* tidy_trax doesn't know any other dll that supports nicklist popups.
