Welcome to the IceChat Web site. IceChat is a popular IRC (Internet
Relay Chat) Client that can be used in Windows
95/98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista and also Windows 7. It has been tested on
64bit versions of XP, Vista and Windows 7 as well. IceChat is a very
user friendly program that can be setup in a matter of a minutes.
IceChat is capable of connecting to multiple servers and channels all
at once, with ease, so you can easily chat with your friends in your
favorite channels.
For those people that wish to do more then just chat with IceChat,
there are numerous different ways to customize the look and feel of
IceChat. It starts with simply changing a Theme, to writing your own
scripts and making your own custom popups, using the IceChat Editor.
The built-in VBS (Visual Basic Scripting) Script engine is powerful
and can be made to do just about anything, and even allowing users to
create their own ActiveX dll's for advanced scripting solutions.
IceChat has some unique features that set it apart from other similar
programs. Most users truly enjoy the built in Emoticons. But for those
select few that do not, this feature can be disabled. The Favorite
Server Tree is truly fantastic, and because IceChat is built around
its Multi-Server capabilities, it is an essential part of IceChat that
makes it that much easier to use.
IceChat was first being developed in 2000, and has gone through many
changes in its Interface, Design, and of course its many features.
IceChat is FreeWare, meaning anyone can use it, at no cost. If you
wish to have a Custom Install of IceChat, please contact us at IceChat
Support.
