Pimp your XChat!
Alright get your sunglasses ready! There are thirteen new XChat themes added.
All XChat themes can be used on Linux and Windows, the GTK themes can only be used on Linux.
The original blacktheme can also be found here.
Install
- Quit XChat.
- Move the colors.conf and pevents.conf files of your old theme to a temporary directory (you can find the conf files in XChat's data directory, see next.).
- Copy the colors.conf and pevents.conf files of your new theme inside XChat's data directory:
WINDOWS : C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\X-Chat 2\
VISTA : C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\X-Chat 2\
LINUX/UNIX: ~/.xchat2/ (/home/username/.xchat2).

If you can't see certain characters use pevents.conf in B-Version which is in the zip file.
