Still failing to launch on login. Tried deleting prefs, repairing permissions, even redownloading the app and installing on a fresh copy of the OS. A lot times just opening the prefs takes a minute of two of spinning beachballness. While I like the features and love the app when it works, it doesn't work as it should often enough to warrant more than 3 stars.
I really like this app, more than Brightness even. My only complaints are that there's no keyboard command for toggling ScreenShad, which means you have to hit opt-plus/minus multiple times, and quite often the program does not launch automatically at login despite repeated attempts to troubleshoot the issue. For some reason the option becomes deselected on its own.
OK, I wrote that entire review without ever quitting the program. It turns out that MacIrssi forgets all your color settings and window placements, making the beautiful interface a mere glossy facade on a junk app. I have since found Colloquy to be handier than I remembered, although it forgets windows placements as well, so now I've moved on to try XChatAqua once again. So far, none of my prefs have been forgotten, although it's a bitch to set up color schemes with the terrible/non-existent labelling. I guess I resort to my belief that there are no good Mac IRC clients; only promising to downright crappy ones. What a damn shame.
