Highlights
Highlights make your mIRC play a little sound or flash when someone says a particular word (usually set to your nickname). It's useful to let you know if someone wants you, without having to check the mIRC window all the time.
- mIRC Version mIRC 6.3+
#1 Go to Tools --> Address Book --> Highlights (For versions before 6.3, go to Tools --> Options --> IRC --> Highlights)
#2 Check the box beside Enable highlight
#3 Click the Add button
#4 $me means whatever your current nickname is at the moment.
- You can of course put some other text in if you wish such as an alternative nickname.
#5 Selecting a specific color will make any lines that contain your highlight word show up in in that said color
#6 Click the No Sound button once so that it says Beep.
- This will make your mIRC beep once when someone says your highlight word
#7 Flash message will make the mIRC button flash in your desktop's toolbar when it is minimized and you are highlighted.
#8 Tip message will make a small window (a balloon tip) pop up near your desktop toolbar when you are highlighted.
#9 Press OK and you're done!
