Best modern looking client?

I'm currently using Trillian to connect to IRC.  It looks *really*
slick but is very limited.  All the clients I've looked at in the last
couple days look like they were written for Windows 3.1 with a few
color "themes" peppered in.

Any suggestions?

IRC by its very nature is not very "slick."

mIRC with nbs-irc looks fine to me in Win 10.
You can check out [irc explorer](https://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/store/apps/irc-explorer/9wzdncrdkmgz) which is "modern".
[TurboIRC](http://www.turboirc.com/t7/) has a ribbon interface if you
consider it modern..
There is a try at a modern interface UI at [deviant

. Finally you can try [floe](http://floe.codeplex.com/)

I use it too. Haven't had no problems or issues with customizing.

Trillian is a pretty damn good Multi protocol chat software, but yeah,
its IRC client is only good for those who only want to chat, without a
fancy customizable layout.

Here's another option for the list, AdiIRC, written on .NET it
supports MTS (mIRC Theme Standard) natively, or you can just customize
it yourself.

BTW, mind pointing out which clients you have tried?

Try out IRC explorer from Windows store. It works fine in Windows 8+
and in 10 too
