Re: Need help with the simplest, most readable Irssi theme possible

One more thing:

With names_nick = "<$0$1-> "; (and without the dash) I get:

23:20 <@ahf      > <+prooz   > < DM9Mydog > < jink     > < muzone   > <
Stampe   >
23:20 <@Bazerka  > <+tali    > < drio     > < jmad980  > < mykhyggz > <
stevoo   >

How to make it like this instead?

23:20 <@ahf>       <+prooz>    < DM9Mydog>  < jink>      < muzone>    <
Stampe>
23:20 <@Bazerka>   <+tali>     < drio>      < jmad980>   < mykhyggz>  <
stevoo>

Or preferably (as mentioned in my previous post):

23:20 <@ahf>       <+prooz>    <DM9Mydog>   <jink>       <muzone>
<Stampe>
23:20 <@Bazerka>   <+tali>     <drio>       <jmad980>    <mykhyggz>
<stevoo>

I really like <> around nicks as a way of signifying "this is a real
person".

Thanks!
