DarkerIRC is a Java applet which provides IRC client functionality. It was written to be highly configurable (through the parameter tags and configuration file) and still easy to install and maintain. It can connect to any server or IRC network using the binary version, which contains a self-signed certificate.

Recent releases


Release Notes: This release adds support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. IE7 no longer requires the workaround for plugin detection that IE6 required.


Release Notes: Quakenet support has been fixed. This release includes a new (self-signed) certificate, as the original one expired after five years.


Release Notes: This release introduces "simplemode", a new mode where even the most inexperienced users can use it without knowing how to use IRC. It automatically connects to the configured server and asks for a name to use. Several small bugs were fixed.


Release Notes: This release adds graphical themeing improvements, image background support, fixes for server/reconnect issues, the return of Quakenet support, more verbose error and diagnostic messages, and many bugfixes.

Realname bug
Yes, I am familiar with the bug where the realname of a user is not appearing, but it shows 'null' instead. (You can all stop mailing me now, please)
Will be fixed soon.
