Include the user rank information as text in the user tooltip in the userlist.
Using KVirc 4.9.2 x64 (latest Git Nightly) in win10.
I use the default theme 'Aria'.
In Settings|Configure Theme|Userlist|'Features' tab
the checkboxes Show user rank channel icons and Enable user tooltip are both ticked by default.
(The former replaces all user nick prefixes with icons, and the latter enables user info on mousehover.)
The user rank icons are great, but I believe it's better to also display their description as text, instead of relying to memorization.
So, my suggestion is to include the description of the relevant nick prefixes, in the tooltip. i.e."User_x is owner". "User_y is admin", "User_z is voiced", and so on.
Note: the info whether a user is an IrcOp is already displayed in the tooltip, So, when e.g. a user is IrcOp and owner, the tooltip should just display "User_x is IrcOp and owner"
And if someone has +hvo on some channel, how should it be displayed?
My suggestion is to have a description for each of the displayed icons, maintaining their order.
Is a nick with such user modes (+hvo) displayed having 3 icons in KVirc ?
i.e. can a nick get more than (1+)1 icons? (1 icon for being IrcOp and/or more than 1 icon for prefixes)??
I haven't encountered such a case in KVirc so far.
If yes, then it would be "User_x is HalfOp, voiced and FullOp'".
Otherwise I'd definitely choose "User_x is operator and voiced" (i.e. the FullOp user mode 'includes' the HalfOp mode meaning, therefore it could be simply displayed as operator).
Fair enough
I don't like the idea of showing all the ranks. I'd show only the higher one. It would also make it easier to translate it.
