Messages
The channel windows contains a column for the nicknames and a text area for the
messages. Between them is a divider line that normally is invisible. You can make
Snak display a thin line in this divider to make it easier to see. The divider
can be moved to allocate more or less room to the nick column.
In addition to normal channel messages, you will also receive messages from the
server as well as information or error messages from Snak. Normally these messages
are not marked in the nick column, but you can make Snak use "***" for
server messages, "Info" and "Error" for information and error
messages respectively. Other options make Snak use "Server" instead
of "***" and controls whether the nicks are bracketed by "<"
and ">".
Among the server messages you will receive are notices of a changed channel mode.
Often this will be regarding a ban that has just been added or removed. The Translate
Mode Changes checkbox determine how Snak presents this information. In the raw
format a new ban will look something like this "Mode change "+b *!*@202.188.196.46"
by Russ". If the Translate Mode Changes option is turned on this will be
presented as "Russ has banned *!*@202.188.196.46 from the channel".
The timestamps option will add timestamps to the nick column like this:
[9:54] pac_mania: was that a 1024x768 reduced to 800x600?
[9:54] Thorondor: Colonel: You left out the interesting part of how much RAM and
how it behaves :-)
[9:54] Nelluk: hmm where do i set the desktop picture?
This is normally not necessary because Snak remembers when a particular message
was received, and will show a tooltip with this information if you place the cursor
over the nick and wait a few seconds.
