== Irssi Themes ==
Just as scripts can add functionality to irssi themes can be added that change the look of it. Adding themes is just like addming scripts, just copy them into the ~/.irssi folder. To use your new theme type
/set theme <theme-name>
There are some themes on the [http://www.irssi.org/themes irssi homepage], some better than others. The themes are written in plain text, so if you find a well written example they're pretty easy to change around slightly.
== Configuration Options ==
Irssi comes with loads of options, so i've just included the ones I think are useful
/set window_history off
Irssi remembers the last few lines of text you've typed into it, just press up to view them. With this you have a seprate buffer of commands for each window, so you cant accidentally send the last line of a private message into #lobby for all to read
/set autolog on
/set autolog_path ~/irclogs/$tag/$0.log
This turns on irssi logging, and setting the paths like this with the variables means that the irssi will save all the logs for a certain channel/pm in a different file each day.
/set autoclose_query 86400
This sets a time in seconds after which idle windows will be closed automatically, so your private message windows will be closed if you don't use them for a whole day (86400 seconds)
/set show_quit_once on
Say you and undone are in three of the same channels, with this set on if he quits for the night his quit message will only appear to you in one of your open windows, not all of them.
/set quit_message <my personal quit message>
Change the default quit message to your own personal one.
/last receive 10
Say i've just come back from a lecture, and i want to see was anyone talking about me while i was gone this shows me the last 10 lines in the current channel that contain my username.
/set real_name Andrew
This sets my real name to Andrew, so people know who i am if they use the /whois command on me.
