Hey all,
I like Whisper, but there are a few things about it which bug me: I like my IRC to be in a monospaced font. I don't think that join/part/etc notifications are as important as the main channel text. They should be less prominent so I have an easier time reading the actual text from people. Finally, I don't like that the join/part/etc notifications are left-aligned. My eye gets confused looking for the nicknames between the notifications. Notifications should start aligned with the channel text not the nickname.
To that end, I've modified whisper slightly to meet my expectations:

You will also probably want one of the following nice monospace fonts:
- Anonymous Pro (this is the one used in the screenshot. I love it!): http://www.ms-studio.com/FontSales/anonymouspro.html
- Inconsolata: http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html
- DejaVu Sans Mono: http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
- Consolas (a commercial Microsoft font, comes with Office 2008 IIRC)
Hope you like it! Thanks to the original authors of Whisper, this is really 99.5% them and 0.5% me.
