The Lounge, Modified

This is a modified version of The Lounge, a self-hosted browser-based IRC client, with some fixes to make it look and feel more like HexChat:

  • less padding / higher information density
  • increase font sizes slightly
  • make default theme black on light gray-brown
  • use xchat/hexchat's nick coloring algorithm and colors
  • remove the in-message nick highlighting feature because of false positives
  • remove the in-message #channel detection feature because of false positives
  • scroll instantly instead of smoothly on PgUp/PgDn
  • show seconds in timestamps by default
  • remove the not-secure icon for unencrypted IRC connections
  • don't automatically focus newly joined channels

Please note: the commits in branch prime will be rebased once in a while on top of thelounge master.
