1. Making the textbox always have the focus. It's annoying to always have to click it after you clicked somewhere else.

2. Changing the text color for "user has quit" messages. Dark blue on black -> hard to read.

3. Perhaps a quicker way of copying text than opening a window where the user must select his text again.

I thought #3 was a Java security limitation or something.

1. I don't even think if you can force focus into the applet (and might be a bad idea to force it infact if possible). Most plugins are like this to start with anyway.

2. Might be possible to increase the contrast slightly but it's very readable for me. I suspect you're using a aged CRT monitor, it's not really that hard for me to read.

3. The IRC client seems did roll their own solution with the IRC textbox, which is why it opens a separate window for copying and pasting. I don't think Java applets are allowed to mess directly with the clipboard, unless access is "elevated".

1. Possible but it's annoying when you start typing tons of text and then notice the textbox wasn't having the focus and you were basically typing in nothing. It's even worse if you happen to hit backspace while the textbox doesn't have the focus, since it brings you to the previous page, disconnects you from IRC and results in the "loss" of all that has been said previously.
Edit: some IRC clients, such as HydraIRC, will force the focus on the textbox anyway. I think they're doing that for this exact reason (minus the backspace obviously).

2. I'm using an LCD. And Colour Contrast Analyzer says: #0000FF on #000000 -> Fail (The contrast ratio is: 2,44). The contrast ratio should be atleast 5 (Level 2), ideally 10 (Level 3) or above.

3. Hm, I see. Then if it's a security measure, there's not much that can be done...

1. You should probably look where you're tying, just in case you make some typos or something... though I can't say that I don't stare off in to space on occasion when I'm typing.

2. #00F on #000 should be pretty damn readable. Sure it could be better, but it's not like it's super dark blue on black like mirc has. Personally, I prefer irssi's default colors with my modified terminal palette. It's so easy on the eyes!

Uh.

#0000FF on black is, well, not unreadable, but hard to read.
If you can read that without having to move towards your monitor, then I'll agree I'm the one who is blind.

I have no problem whatsoever on reading blue text on black background, actually, let's see where I'd draw the line:

Is this hard to read?
Is this hard to read?
Is this hard to read?
Is this hard to read?
Is this hard to read?
Is this hard to read?
Is this hard to read?
Is this hard to read?
Is this hard to read?

*Hits preview*

...

Actually, #008 seems very readable , you may need to adjust your gamma.

#00F on #000? I agree. Crank that contrast.

However, the opposite holds for Traffic Light's gradient in the thread summary when replying, at least for the Standard theme which I use -- #00F is unreadable whereas #00007F (the bottom one) is at least somewhat legible.

Admittly in Mega-Mario's reference humans perceive green as the brightest, followed by red. Blue is the "least bright" color.

Y = (0.299 * R) + (0.587 * G) + (0.114 * B)

Where Y would be the perceived brightness. Color are in values from 0.0 to 1.0 .

However, I still think 0x0000FF on 0x000000 is not too hard to read...

Actually, I'd agree with that. I can read 0x0000FF (and even darker) on 0x000000, but it's just that the contrast isn't ideal.
