How to use?
-----------

There are some features which i will describe here :

  1) Timestamp-Format

     You can set the Timestamp-Format with this Addon. There is only 1
     difference to the Timestamp-Option in mIRC : You can use Control Codes
     like Color, Bold, Underline without losing them on mIRC restart.

  2) Strip Background-Colors

     This Option will strip background colors without stripping any colours
     like the mirc strip-option will do.

  3) Prevent hilight

     This enables you to somehow ignore users. If users appearing in this
     list will send a mesage to a channel it will not hilight the channel
     button in the switchbar anymore, but the message will appear. This is
     usefull if you dont like conversation of some users but dont want to
     ignore them completly. This may also be usefull for some Bots :-)

  4) Theme

     As this Addon will do a theme anyway to prevent hilight as well as
     background-color-strip i decided to add a small theme system to it. You
     can use the following Tags to include Information. Anything else should
     be self explaining as the defaults look like mIRC itself.

     &1; - The Nickname
     &2; - The Message Text

  5) F8 - Unhilight all Channel

     You can use the function key f8 to unhilight all channel windows. This
     is usefull if you get back to irc after a while and dont want to click
     on any channel to reset the hilight state.
