+# IrcColors
+
+Makes username colors in chat unique, like in IRC clients
+
+<!-- ![Chat with IrcColors and Compact++ enabled]() -->
+
+Improves chat readability by assigning every user an unique nickname color,
+making distinguishing between different users easier. Inspired by the feature
+in many IRC clients, such as HexChat or WeeChat.
+
+Keep in mind this overrides role colors in chat, so if you wish to know
+someone's role color without checking their profile, enable the role dot feature
+in accessibility settings.
+
+Created for use with the [Compact++](https://gitlab.com/Grzesiek11/compactplusplus-discord-theme)
+theme.
