- The Various Buttons on IrCQ-Net
At the head of the IrCQ-Net applet there are 6 buttons. Each button launches a different dialog or action. The options are Join, Nick, Search, Rooms, Options, Float/Embed:
- Join: Pops up a dialog with an ICQ rooms list and let you choose which room to get into. You can also create a new room by filling the "New room" edit box.
- Nick: Pops up a dialog with your current nick and gives you the option to set yourself a new nick. If you choose a nick which is already taken, the Nick dialog will pop up again.
- Search: Pops up a dialog where you can search a certain text on the whole web or on the ICQ web site.
- Rooms: Pops up a windows listing all the current channels on the IrCQ-Net (not channels with +s mode) with their topic and the amount of users inside them. Similar to the /list command on external IRC clients.
- Options: Here you can set several options for yourself such as Nickname, ICQ number, Color setting etc...
- Float: Makes the Applet window float, meaning you can now change his position and size. If you press again, the window will get embed again ad you won't be able to resize it.
- The Different sections on the IrCQ-Net applet
- The top left side contains a Drop Down list of the channels available. A channel is signified with a number sign (#).
- Below the channels list, near the "Location" title, you can find buttons of the rooms which you are currently at. The first button will always be "status" which is a window where you can find information about some actions that took place.
- On the right hand side there are the names (nicknames) of the participants in the chat. There are two special characters that precede some names:
@ indicates a person that can issue commands to control the room (op),
such as throwing someone out of a room.
+ indicates a user with 'voice',
only users with voice can speak in a moderated room.
- On the left hand side you can find the main section, which is where the chat session takes place. On top of each main section there is a colored stripe which servers as a title for the current channel. The name of the channel is written here with a short topic.
- At the bottom of the applet there is a text box where you can write any text you want to say to the current channel or query window. You can pick up a certain color from 16 different colors of the colored stripe, or let the applet chose a random/highlight/gradient text from the Drop Down list. You can also set the text to be bold and/or underlined by pressing the "B" and the "U" buttons respectively. when your done editing your text click on the "Send" button (the one with the lips icon) or just press ENTER in order to send your text.
- You can also send Action/Emotions lines by choosing it from the right bottom Drop Down list, above the "send emotion" title.
