This section, contains information about scripting, creating Themes, and developing for savIRC directly.

So you would like to dive into the world of scripting for savIRC? First, I will talk about the different program variables you can use, to make your scripts blend in with savIRC. Essentially making it, your script, transparent to the end-user. Second, I will talk about how to create functions. Third, I will then talk about the IRC name space and why you should use name spaces for your scripts. Fourth, we will go over some real-world script examples, including how to make dialogs, and how to use some of the widgets that savIRC uses.

Because the Tcl/Tk scripting language has a lot of documentation on it, I will not really talk about the different widgets, and the syntax. So I will point you in the direction for getting help with Tcl/Tk at the end of the section.

Throughout this book, I will refer to the Undernet Network extensively in my examples.
