This is a new client from Sean, it runs on .net framework,
it has a cool look and is easy to use,
features include:
stored history, so you know what rooms you have been in
a favourites list, these are customisable,
1, you can have different on enter greetings for each room if you like,
2, you can add the room to auto join if you wish to enter on starting,
the userlist shows the actual coloured names, so you dont have to fight through colour codes to click on a name,
there is a 'now playing' option that works with windows media player, winamp & itunes,
each room is on a seperate tab,
1, these change colour when someone types in a room,
2, these also change to a different colour if the room disconnects,
3, you can also re-connect without closing the tab,
right click on the typing strip shows a menu with colour codes, send message to all rooms, statistics like uptime, system info & client verion etc,
the client is being improved all the time, you are welcome to try it and give feedback
Please Note Sean's Program Does Require .Net Framework To Run It.Net Framework 4 Is Available Here - Quote :
