When I set the tabs to be at the top or bottom I cannot see the most recent msgs, when I set it to either side msgs display properly. Other than that still a good IRC client, just wish it wasn't MAS only.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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?

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

I've tried 0.12.0, 0.13.0 and 0.14.0 of xchat aqua. Every version won't work properly. I can connect to any server but then nothing works. The lag-bar is at 100%. I do not see myself in the channel userlist. i can write but won't see what i write or what other write but the others can see what i write. i also cannot join other channels or something else. All i can do is Quit XChat Aqua. Does anyone know this problem and can help me? I mailed the project leader with no response (at a time when 0.13.0 was the actual version). I've tried other Chat Clients like Colloguy, Conversation, Snak, Ircle, Irssi etc... Every of them works fine but they are all really horrible clients. My Specs: eMac G4 1,25GHz 768MB RAM OSX 10.3.9 3MBit/384KBit DSL No Router or Firewall which could block something. Please help! :(

Lots of features, more than any other free graphical IRC client on OS X. On the downside, the user interface is ugly and unintuitive. X-Chat Aqua is definitely the best choice for a power user. Otherwise, you might be happier with Conversation or Colloquy.

Not a dumbed-down GUI client, but powerful and packed with features and stable as heck. Absolute bliss to use after years of half-assed Mac IRC clients. FREE.

I think it is the best IRC Prog available for OSX. But there is a problem with the new version, the german special characters (ÜÖÄ, üöä, ß) are always wrong in this version, now I use 0.13.0 again. And I think the old version ist faster, too.

Unfortunately, this release is a huge step backwards, for me at least. on my dual 2 Ghz G5 with OS 10.3.8, attempting to change multiple preferences causes the preferences window to lag severely in response time, several of the preferences come up garbled, and attempting to close the preferences window while it is lagging causes X-Chat Aqua to crash.
