### IRC Client
|
|
|
|
IRCCloud doesn't work very well. It's monospaced font is *Iconsolata*, served
|
|
up by Google Web Fonts, which doesn't draw the block characters correctly. In
|
|
addition it appears to ignore several lines when flooding fast. Don't use
|
|
IRCCloud, it's for people who habitually make bad decisions in life. Works
|
|
best with a terminal based client.
|
|
|
|
### Terminal
|
|
|
|
Don't use reverse video, just make foreground white on black background, but
|
|
not bright white, there should be two different whites, bright white and
|
|
grayish white, 16 unique colors in all, as shown below:
|
|
|
|
Color | Regular | Bold
|
|
------|---------|-----
|
|
Black | #000000 (0, 0, 0) | #555555 (85, 85, 85)
|
|
Red | #aa0000 (170, 0, 0) | #ff5555 (255, 85, 85)
|
|
Green | #00aa00 (0, 170, 0) | #55ff55 (85, 255, 85)
|
|
Yellow | #aaaa00 (170, 170, 0) | #ffff55 (255, 255, 85)
|
|
Blue | #0000aa (0, 0, 170) | #5555ff (85, 85, 255)
|
|
Magenta | #aa00aa (170, 0, 170) | #ff55ff (255, 85, 255)
|
|
Cyan | #00aaaa (0, 170, 170 ) | #55ffff (85, 255, 255)
|
|
White | #aaaaaa (170, 170, 170) | #ffffff (255, 255, 255)
|

|
### Font
|
|
|
|
The font you use needs to be monospaced obviously but if its missing some of
|
|
the block drawing unicode characters its going to borrow them from another
|
|
font, which will probably having a different width, resulting in poor alignment
|
|
and jagged edges. *Andale Mono* is the best I've found so far.
