Conspire (software)

Conspire is an IRC client for Unix-like systems. It originated as a fork of X-Chat 2.8 CVS. Conspire has several interfaces, referred to as "frontends", currently including a Gtk+ 2 frontend and a "bot" frontend. It boasts a high level of customisability, and allows channels to be viewed in either a tab or tree mode, much like its parent program X-Chat. It also has support for 24-bit colour and italicised text due to the new XText system based on the Cairo graphics library. Few IRC clients support these extensions, however, particularly other mainstream clients such as mIRC.
