DESCRIPTION
X-Chat Aqua is a Mac OS X IRC client. If you are familiar with XChat for UNIX/GTK+/X Windows, then you will be at home with X-Chat Aqua. X-Chat Aqua uses the IRC engine from XChat and has been designed to look and feel like XChat. As time goes by, I expect that I will add features that are not necessarily part of XChat.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.17.0.1437:
- Added Sparkle for automatic updates.
- Upgraded core XChat code from v2.6.1 to v2.8.6
Localization update by ToePeu.
- New program icon by Ryan Fernandez (submitted by Terje Bless).
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3 or later.

MATTHEW GREEN there's a slightly updated build for xchat aqua available at: http://raim.codingfarm.de/blog/2009/01/21/x-chat-aqua-for-mac-os-x/ thankfully it implements a tabs column on the left of the window now too (Version 0.16) | |

DARKFLAME404 I just downloaded the newer version. I had downloaded x-chat aqua sometime last year but I figured I'd update. Ok, I am not that talented with computers, and I require a little assistance. I love x-chat aqua, but I have no idea how to work scripts. I tried to write one before but, of course, I have no idea what I am doing. I need a cut script so that when I type out a paragraph it doesn't just cut off the end and not post it. If anyone could provide me with a cut script for x-chat aqua on the mac and tell me how to implement it I would greatly appreciate it. thanks! (Version 0.17.0.1437) | |

MAXIMILLIAN Why can't I change the left / right tab shortcuts using the Keyboard preference pane of OSX 10.3.9? This means the tabbed browsing uses different shortcuts and I can't change them.. effectively rendering my tab buttons on the mouse useless for this one app. It sounds minor but it is the most obnoxious and irritating thing ever!

PROMETHEAS I have loads of work to do, and no time to do it all, so I'm going to have to keep this rather short. X-Chat Aqua is *the best* IRC applicaton for OS X... one might even be tempted to argue that it's the best in the world. While I wouldn't call it your grandmother's IRC client -- haha... sorry, funny image -- however, if you actually know IRC, you'll need less than a day with this program to arrive at this conclusion for yourself. The bottom line is that, as of Jan 2006, there is simply no better IRC client available for OS X than this one. (Version 0.15.1) | |

BEDOUIN I don't like how they've made the tabs blue now, disregarding whether or not your color theme is set to aqua or silver. Is there some way to change this that I don't know about? (Version 0.15.1) | |

JETSGO The true "Whats new" list doesn't show what is new from 0.14, only 0.15.0. Lots of changes have been made, and a list is on the Sourceforge website. (Version 0.15.1) | |

LEGACYTYPHOON Its a great program and its easy to use, I can't compare it to other IRC programs because I haven't used them, however, I seem to get this weird problem. I have high-speed cable and I for some reason get chat lag. Now, I know this isn't unheard of, but it just seems really, really, weird. When I use programs like iChat or AdiumX I get no lag at all. Any tips or anyone with problems like this? (Version 0.14.0) | |

LEWIS X-Chat Aqua is a faithful reproducition of Xchat for X11. This means its UI is rather clunky, but the functionality is top-notch. the scripting interfaces allow endless customization, and the client itself is stable and fast. It has a few OS X specific extras, like dragging files into the nick list to do a dcc send and an optional 'metal' Interface. Version 0.14.0 adds working support for nickservs and a UTF-8 mode that has proved to be fully compatible. In short, this is the best mac IRC client, though if you are a casual user, the extended features may not be useful. However, it is free, while Snak and Ircle are not (albeit, they are cheap and I own both, but I USE X-Chat Aqua). NB: Older versions of X-Chat Aqua for OS X 10.2 no longer appear to be available, but in fact are; they are just hidden rather well. This link should take you to the full list of past releases. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=62257 (Version 0.14.0) | |
