IceChat: Add the $+ alias

Aliases are self-defined commands, usually shortcuts to common IRC commands. For example, <code>/j</code> instead of <code>/join</code>.

IceChat 9 comes with a pre-defined set of aliases, and the user can change, remove or add new ones. Aliases are located on the IceChat Editor which can be reached from the Options menu entry, or with Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut. 

[[File:ice9-open-editor.jpg]]

The format for an alias is: 
<code>/alias name, /command name, </code> followed by additional parameters, if required by the command.

The parameters are either [[Identifiers]] or general variables in the form of <code>$1, $2</code> etc.

Example: 
<code>/k /kick $1 $2 </code> 
<dl>
<dt>/k</dt>
<dd>Alias name</dd>

<dt>/kick</dt>
<dd>The <code>kick</code> command</dd>

<dt>$1</dt>
<dd>1st parameter of the <code>kick</code> command: the nick to be kicked.</dd>

<dt>$2</dt>
<dd>2nd (optional) parameter of the <code>kick</code> command: the reason for the kick.</dd>

<dd>If you wish to have a parameter, and all the remaining parameters, use a - after it. IE: $2- returns the 2nd parameter, and all the rest</dd>

</dl>

It is possible to use one alias inside another. 
It is possible to define an alias that is longer then a single line: 
Example: 
<code>
/info { 
//say Operating System [$os Build No. $osbuild] 
//say Uptime [$uptime] 
//say $icechat 
} 
</code>

<code>/i /info</code> 

so, running the command <code>/i</code> returns the following (at the time of writing): 
<pre>
<IceChat9> Operating System [Windows 7 Build No. 7601]
<IceChat9> Uptime [1 days 1 mins 38 secs]
<IceChat9> IceChat 9.01 http://www.icechat.net
</pre>

<dt>$+</dt>
If you need to join $1 and $2, $1$2 would not work. You would join them together with $+. 
So it would be $1 $+ $2 . The spaces between will be automatically removed.

IceChat: fix typo of channel

The Color settings tabs include several basic tabs and several additional tabs that only exist if certain [[plugins]] are installed.

[[File:ice9-colors.jpg|512px]]

== Colors Palette ==
At the bottom of the Color settings window there's a palette of 72 colors that are used everywhere in the software. 
Colors are identified by codes. These are numbers between 0 and 71 representing the ordinal place of a color on the palette.
 
The definition of the palette colors is located in the <code>[[Data Folder#XML_files|ColorPalette.xml]]</code> file under the [[Data Folder]]. If you want to change a certain color to another, replace the existing [http://html-color-codes.info/ Hex code] with one of your own, then re-start IceChat 9.

== Themes tab ==
IceChat 9 comes with several basic themes, which are saved under the [[Data Folder]]. Themes can be added, removed and re-added to IceChat 9 from this tab. 
Each theme is combined of two <code>xml</code> files, using the theme name. One is called <code>Colors-<theme name></code> and the other <code>Messages-<theme name></code>.
So the Blue theme will use these two files: <code>Colors-Blue.xml</code> and <code>Messages-Blue.xml</code>.

If you have used [[:Category:IceChat 7|IceChat 7]] and have themes there that you want to use, they can be imported from this tab. Simply point to IceChat 7 Data Folder, and press the Import IceChat 7 themes. Once imported, the themes are listed in the themes list and can be chosen.

If you have made changes to colors in the various tabs on this window, and you want to keep them, you can save them as a new theme. Press the Add new theme button, give the new theme a name, and it will be added to the themes list, and can be retrieved later at any time.

The Remove theme is used to remove a theme from the themes list. If the removed theme is the one currently used, then the default one will be restored and used the next time IceChat 9 is opened.

A previously removed theme can be loaded again into the themes list by using the Load Theme.

== Messages tab ==
This tab handles the colors of messages and actions on different parts of the software. There are two ways to handle the colors of messages/ actions: Basic, which is opened by default, and Advanced, which is the tab to the right of the Basic.

The Advanced tab allows detailed control of parts of a single message/ action, while the Basic allows only a single color for a single message/ action.

Both provide the same set of messages/ actions to be defined.
Messages and actions are divided into several groups in the list for convinience:
<ul>
<li>Channel Messages</li>
<li>Server Messages</li>
<li>Private Messages</li>
<li>Self Messages</li>
<li>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-to-client_protocol CTCP] Messages</li>
<li>[[Settings#DCC_tab|DCC]] Messages</li>
<li>Other Messages</li>
</ul>
=== Basic ===
When you want to change the color of a certain message, select that message from the list, then select a color from the palette. A preview of the message is displayed in the Formatted message preview line.

If you want to change the message background, check the Change background color checkbox (to the left of the Formatted message title) and select a color.

Press Apply to save the changes so far, and go on to make more changes. When you have finished making changes, Save them and leave the Color Settings window.

The Reset to default button restores the original color settings of the message currently selected.

=== Advanced ===
A message is combined of several parts, each can have its own color and background color. These parts are a combination of Identifiers and, for some messages, constant text. 

Each part of a message can have a specific combination of foreground and optionally background colors, starting with a <code>CTRL+K</code> symbol, and ending with that same symbol.

To the right of the messages list on this tab, there a small rectangle with a dynamic legends of the Identifiers that can be used for that message.

==== Identifiers ====

==== Message Coloring ====

Following is an example for a Channel message format, with detailed explanation.

[[File:ice9-channel-message-color-settings.jpg]]

To change the colors of a Channel Message, select it in the upper list of messages. 
In the Edit message here you can see the current setting of that message, and in the Formatted message below, is the preview of the settings. The Legend on the right list the <code>$color, $status, $nick, $message, $host, $channel</code> Identifiers as valid for this message.

Place the cursor to the left of $message (#4 in the screenshot) and open the Color Picker. Select the Yellow color. A symbol followed by the number 08 is displayed (#2 in the screenshot). Next, for the backgound of this part, type a comma, and then select the Blue color (first on the 2nd line of the palette). A symbol followed by the number 12 is displayed (#3 in the screenshot). Remove the symbol, leaving the number 12 near the comma with no spaces between. The result is displayed on the preview line bellow (#6 in the screenshot). 

You can manually type the color codes using <code>CTRL+K</code> to create the symbol followed by the desired color code number.

A note on the <code>$color$status$nick</code> combination in the example screenshot:

The <code>$color</code>, is the one that paints this part in Dark Blue (#7 in the screenshot). In live channels, this will show each nick name painted with the color of its [[Colors#rank|rank*]] from the [[Colors#Nick List tab|Nick List]].
The <code>$status</code> Identifier will display in live channels the [[Colors#rank|rank*]] (if exists) of the nick who wrote the message.

The result of the above example in live channel looks like this:

Portable

2015-03-13T18:04:51Z

IceChat:

IceChat 9 can run as portable, without being installed.

The portable file is found on [http://www.icechat.net/site/downloads/download.php IceChat download page].

Extract the zip content into any subfolder which is not under <code>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable#Default_values %ProgramFiles%]</code>. For example: c:\portable\IceChat.

Then, run the program.

If you wish to run IceChat 9 on its own, and not use the standard AppData folder for where it saves its data, use the following command.

icechat2009.exe -profile "C:\path\to\folder"

As with the installed version there are two ways to initially run IceChat 9:
Import existing settings from IceChat 7 or starting with a clean setup.
See the details for each option [[Install_IceChat_9#First_Run|here]].

== Plugins and Emoticons ==

The common [[plugins]] and [[Settings#Emoticons_tab| emoticons]] that come with the installer, are not bundled with the portable version. They can be downloaded independently from the site's [http://www.icechat.net/site/downloads download] page.

Each of the packs need to be extracted and moved to its expected location:

The [[plugins]] should be placed in a Plugins subfolder under the program folder. For example: c:\portable\IceChat\Plugins.

The [[Settings#Emoticons_tab| emoticons]] should be placed in a Emoticons subfolder under the [[Data Folder]].

Example: 
Under Windows 7 (and later), for a user named Ice9, the default [[Data Folder]] location is <code>C:\Users\Ice9\AppData\Local\IceChat Networks\IceChat</code>.

For the above example, the extracted Emoticons folder should be moved to <code>C:\Users\Ice9\AppData\Local\IceChat Networks\IceChat\Emoticons</code>.

For more on possible locations and options for the [[Data Folder]], see the [[Multiple Instances]] page.

Aliases

IceChat:

Aliases are self-defined commands, usually shortcuts to common IRC commands. For example, <code>/j</code> instead of <code>/join</code>.

IceChat 9 comes with a pre-defined set of aliases, and the user can change, remove or add new ones. Aliases are located on the IceChat Editor which can be reached from the Options menu entry, or with Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut. 

[[File:ice9-open-editor.jpg]]

The format for an alias is: 
<code>/alias name, /command name, </code> followed by additional parameters, if required by the command.

The parameters are either [[Identifiers]] or general variables in the form of <code>$1, $2</code> etc.

Example: 
<code>/k /kick $1 $2 </code> 
<dl>
<dt>/k</dt>
<dd>Alias name</dd>

<dt>/kick</dt>
<dd>The <code>kick</code> command</dd>

<dt>$1</dt>
<dd>1st parameter of the <code>kick</code> command: the nick to be kicked.</dd>

<dt>$2</dt>
<dd>2nd (optional) parameter of the <code>kick</code> command: the reason for the kick.</dd>

<dd>If you wish to have a parameter, and all the remaining parameters, use a - after it. IE: $2- returns the 2nd parameter, and all the rest</dd>

</dl>

It is possible to use one alias inside another. 
It is possible to define an alias that is longer then a single line: 
Example: 
<code>
/info { 
//say Operating System [$os Build No. $osbuild] 
//say Uptime [$uptime] 
//say $icechat 
} 
</code>

<code>/i /info</code> 

so, running the command <code>/i</code> returns the following (at the time of writing): 
<pre>
<IceChat9> Operating System [Windows 7 Build No. 7601]
<IceChat9> Uptime [1 days 1 mins 38 secs]
<IceChat9> IceChat 9.01 http://www.icechat.net

This is a place to keep some notes regarding this specific server. TBV
<h3>Proxy Settings tab</h3>
Check the Enable Proxy Connection checkbox if you need to connect through a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server Proxy] Server.
