A small tribute to r3m
I would never claim to recreate the WeeChat setup that r3m has built over the years. This little Python script simply lets you borrow a tiny part of that look. Thank you for your support throughout all these years, r3m.
Download teuk_display.py
Python
A small visual preset: cyan separators, a buffer list on the left,
nicknames on the right and a compact status bar.
The original inspiration
Explore Pascal Poitras’s WeeChat configuration and the work behind the look.
Use it in WeeChat
Requires the Python, IRC and buflist plugins, with a dark terminal and 256-color support.
- Save
teuk_display.pyin your home directory. - In WeeChat, run
/python load ~/teuk_display.py. - Then run
/python unload teuk_display.
The script changes display settings and saves them. Unloading it keeps the new look; it does not restore your previous theme.
teuk.org is an independent home for durable IRC software, documentation and community resources.
