Introducing High, a hot Colloquy style

I’m IRC all day long with Colloquy, and while you can set different styles to it, they’re all, well, ugly.

So I made a Colloquy style to fit my needs, it’s called High (no pun intended). It’s based on DecafBland, because that style has an awesome feature LesOrchard created, it has a bunch of colors and they rotate between whoever is on the channel. So props to you Les.

Other than that, the style features a very light text shadow (which makes it a pleasure to look at), nice highlights for when someone calls your name, or for actions (/me slaps….), awesome pink notifications when someone comes into or leaves (or gets kicked out), small timestamps, large line spacing, “Gill Sans” as default font, and other details.

Instructions: Extract the zip file and put it in ~/Library/Application Support/Colloquy/Styles. Then relaunch Colloquy and select the style from the preferences.

    I actually gave up on Colloquy and moved to XChat Aqua (whose styles suck way more than Colloquy’s) because I hate the way Colloquy logs.

    But this is hot. Very nice to look at, indeed.
