pevents.conf

The Solarized theme for XChat was designed using the default pevents.conf file.

The only reason you may need to replace your existing pevents.conf file is if it is heavily modified.

The pevents.conf included with the theme has 2 modifications:

1. Nick names are wrapped with angle brackets.

2. Mode characters ( ~, &, @, %, +) are shown next to nick names.

2. Back-up the current colors.conf and pevents.conf files located in the appropriate XChat Data Directory
3. Copy the solarized-dark-colors.conf or solarized-light-colors.conf file to the appropriate XChat Data Directory and rename it to colors.conf
