I Think mIRC may contains a lagbar in default.
I have written a lot of lagbars for mIRC in my scripts.
But why not can be a default "option"?
I may be only shown in a window or in the titlebar else it may be a grafical object in the end of the icon row...
I made all of these variations, and it could be very pretty

Don't you think will it useful?

As I have stated in 3 recent threads already, lagbars are generally useless eyecandy that waste more server resources than necessary.

What's unfortunate is that most popular scripts people use today have lagbar addons that can conceivably bring a server to its knees (if not already).

Try this thread for ideas on writing a simple, single server PING request and displaying the results. To do something like this continuously though is wasteful client behaviour and a crime against the server.

I agree with Raccoon here. Lagbars are generally hard to interpret anyway. In Xchat (I know, I say "Xchat" a lot) you can choose to just see the lag in seconds, presumably measured at regular intervals. It's much more informative.

This gave me another idea. If Khaled could add into mIRC something like a lagbar (optional however), to show when you last received data from the server. I hope I don't need to explain myself further on that.

If I understand that right, you want a lag bar to see the latency of the last incoming message? Am I concluding correctly?

For example, if you have debug on, it will show something like the below in the log file.

<- :mesra.kl.my.dal.net

And what I want, is whenever I receive ANY type of data from the server, meaning anything written with <- at the beginning in the log file, it resets the lag bar.
