Re: black nicks on weechat

There's the string option weechat.color.chat_nick_colors which is a comma separated list of colors used for nicks. Simply remove the color(s) you don't like (maybe you meant brown as that is among the default colors?).

Re: black nicks on weechat

black is not included in that string, and the the nicks are definitely black, not brown.

Re: black nicks on weechat

Have you recently changed your terminals pallette?

The colors listed in weechat will reflect those in your palette. If you have one of these set to #000000, and in your nick_colors string, you will see black, not brown.

Mod Edit:  I redacted that location for security. (ewaller)

You need to change this password, too.
And your GitHub password.
And your Twitter and Facebook passwords.
And the passwords of your other personal accounts (what were you thinking, man?!).
That includes your SSH server's user and root passwords.
In fact, disable those (especially root logins) and use keys — https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH_Keys — but you might want to use —

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048

— or —

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
