Every %K (dark grey / bright-black) swapped for %X17 — 256-colour
foreground 0x17 == palette index 23, RGB #005f5f, a very dark
teal/cyan. Applies to: body text, bracket/punctuation replaces,
message-body dim, connective text in join/part/quit/etc. formats,
dccfile name, whois values, servernotice body, wallop body.
Requires a 256-colour-capable terminal; irssi renders %X17 as
palette 23 when the terminal advertises 256 colour support (most
modern terminals do — .tmux.conf already sets TERM=screen-256color).
- Body text color bumped from %w (light grey, sometimes renders ~white)
to %K (dark grey / 'bright black'), affecting msgnick and all action
templates.
- Statusbar / info bg changed from %8 (terminal default, which some
terminals render as reverse-video white) to explicit %0 (black) so
the bar is reliably dark everywhere.
- Added color to spots that were falling through to terminal default:
whois values, servernotice body, wallop_nick, wallop_action body,
dccfile.
- Expanded 'fe-common/core' formats block to override joins, parts,
quits, kicks, nick/topic/mode changes, aways etc. — coloured nicks
via the existing abstracts but the surrounding 'has joined' /
'changed the topic' verbiage now renders in dim grey instead of
stark white.
rainbow-dark.theme:
- Message body text now tinted dim grey (%w) instead of inheriting
terminal-default (usually stark white) — done via a trailing %w in
the msgnick template.
- Own nick in public, private, and DCC contexts switches from bold
white (%W) to bold bright magenta (%M) so 'you' stays distinct but
stops looking like every other bright-white element.
- Action bodies (public, private, DCC) get the same %w dim-grey tint.
.irssi/config: add W1..W99 aliases so /w1, /w2, ... /w99 jump
directly to that window (pair to the existing bare numeric /1 /2
aliases, for users whose muscle memory has 'w' in it).
