Our chat can also be entered using a client program, which offers the user even more functions.
The design cannot be compared with that of the web chat.

For this use, we recommend the client Mirc, which you can download from this site and test for 30 days free of charge.
For longer periods, a license is required, which you can find on the website of the manufacturer. 

If you have successfully loaded and installed Mirc and started it, you will be greeted with this window:

How can I format my messages in this client?
There are keyboard shortcuts that enable this, so combinations are also possible.

• ctrl+k Opens the color palette for text messages.
• ctrl+b makes a text BOLD
• ctrl+i writes the text slanted
• ctrl+u Writes a text underlined

So we want one Regenbogentext write like this, several steps are necessary:

1. Open the color palette after each letter and choose a color.
   The input line should now read: █2R█3e█4g█5e█6n█7b█8o█9g█10e█11n█12t█13e█14x █15t
   This brings us to the colored text.
2. In order to underline it now we tire of the keyboard shortcut ctrl+u at the beginning and at the end of the text Execute.
3. With another Ctrl+b at the beginning and end of the text test, this is displayed in bold.
4. With the last ctrl+i at the beginning and end, this text becomes slanted.
