[02:30] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[05:51] <Maik> arraybolt3[m]: this is what users who enter #ubuntu get top see, no matter which irc client they use: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gSMWbvvBYN/
[05:52] <arraybolt3[m]> Maik: True. And in a perfect world, everyone would see that and know what was happening. But in my experience, IRC clients generally do one or more of three things that make it so that a user doesn't hardly ever see the topic.
[05:52] <arraybolt3[m]> For one, they color it grey, and all the other messages white, which communicates, "Background info, no need to read."
[05:53] <arraybolt3[m]> For two, they mix it in with various other server messages and arbitrary other junk so that the user thinks it's just part of the "safe to ignore" stuff.
[05:53] <arraybolt3[m]> For three, Matrix (the client I use) colors the topic light-grey, sticks it at the top of the screen when all the action occurs at the bottom of the screen (so you don't hardly notice it even exists), shrinks it so that you can't even see all of it on some screens, AND colors it light-grey.
[05:54] <arraybolt3[m]> (Wow, I must not like the light-grey thing, since I accidentally mentioned it twice in the last point LOL)
[05:55] <arraybolt3[m]> So for an experienced IRC user who already knows all of the quirks and whatnot of using IRC, scanning the junk section for the topic is easy. For someone who just stumbled across Konversation and is thinking, "Ooh, shiny, what's that?", intuition is going to lead them down the trail of topic-ignoring.
[05:57] <Maik> True, thanks for elaborating. I will keep that in mind. :)
