haha that would be nice!

At this point, it's just fantasy.

I'm still new to muck, but that sort of interface would be extremely useful for folks like me. Know its a fantasy atm, but long as its an idea, least that means there's still a chance in the future.

Oh god it's like 90s webpages. My eyes!

Thankyou for that super helpful comment.

No problem.

I actually enjoyed the 90's

So did I. But it didn't age well.

Would it include juicy mavs as a feature?

There would be a button for it!

I'd love it if that was a real client. Haha. As long as it has some kind of spelling support, that is.

Sure. I hate not having a spell check. Ideally it'd be something like Google's context sensitive spell check, where it can detect if you have a valid spelling, but in the wrong place.
But I don't think anyone actually makes that available, so it'd just be a regular spell check with a live highlight. But I think I'd like to actually highlight the words instead of drawing a little line under them.

That's one thing I loved about MUCK Client, a client that went out of support... but, it's full of glitches. :/ Excellent live-spell-checker-thingy, bugs with it's interface, etc. I.E., copying and pasting usally ended up copying the wrong characters, etc. :/

There is a nice client currently in process now I knowq thew developer of, but, he's not able to offer spell check as of yet... but, if it can get it... awesome client!

*baps FireFox spellchecker... realizes it was his fault.* x.x

What's the client called?

..that -is- the name of it, it';s called MUCK Client. From Woofware. o.o

http://www.oldversion.com/MUCKclient.html

..actually impressed I found it available for download, truthfully.

Oh yeah, I helped beta test it. But Woof didn't like the suggestions I made like 'It'd be cool if the log file was split every day do you don't end up with a 100mb text file'.
That and I never found any bugs and she got REALLY wound up by people not reporting any bugs.

Well, I know of quite a bit... like, then fact that if you hit 'Apply' before 'Save', it'll forget everything, and close the config box... a lotta stuff.... dun get me wrong, I loved that client.... but, yeah...

I'd give users the option to modify colors and mute some of these. They are colorful and bright. I am not. :)

I like breaking out pages and the wf list.

The left / right justification to change the chat window into more of an IM client is one I'd want to change. I don't want separate scrolling rounded boxes moving along. I like my text blocks.

It's got some good things going for it. URL support is definitely a plus.

The colours are just ones I threw in to really highlight it. My plan would be to skin each element with CSS (Because it's a really easy way to deal with styles!) so you could quite easily make a theme that was text chunks but maybe iwth a half height blank line to help show where one ends and the other starts... all the way up to making individual themed boxes for people and triggers if you wanted.

Wow, this would be soooo much better than what we have now!

If only I can find someone to do all the hard parts!

Yeah, find someone to do the hard parts and a graphic designer, the you can give it to the 'keeper of cool' who will declare it 'cool' and take all the credit and most of the money for it!

... Gawd I hated that advert.

*chuckles and nodnods* That's quite awesome indeed. And what else it needs it a relay client-server type solution as well. That way, it can run through the https port on your computer and then run over to a home server somewhere that will do all the 'regular' connectivity. No running afoul of any company "Thou Shallt Not!!" policies anywhere. :)

I've been thinking about that. Ideally I'd like it to be able to take text input from a variety of sources, but to start with... basic functionality would be great!

Indeed. It's something I'd been toying with for years too. Though my own goal was to build a Java applet that was hosted on my home server page. Then it would give full MUSHClient type functionality but through the https port on the home server, so the sysads in whatever company I was with couldn't find it. Or, at least, not find it easily. :)
