Description nuc 2017-02-17 02:12:01 UTC

I'd find it much more overseeable if nickneames would sit in a seperate row from the actual chat content, like it is the case in e.g. hexchat (and every other irc chat app I know). I'd really not like to switch back to hexchat :/

Is something like this planned?

Wouldn't it cause all text to move, if someone with a longer nick talks in the channel?

Hey, no actually I never saw this happen. I have uploaded a screenshot from hexchat.

Oftentimes I get lost in the chat when I use Konversation, while the hexchat approach looks very clean to me.
Btw Quassel has it too: http://quassel-irc.org/files/images/snapshot13.preview.png

If it would be available at least optionally that would be nice.
