Getting into some more active channels has been a bit of a visual
nightmare. Several nicks get assigned the same color and even worse,
they're often the same length and rarely, start with the same letter.
Is there a script to cycle the nick colors or add extra colors or
possibly prevent 2 nicks with the same color?

There is a "doebi" theme for WeeChat that makes what you wanted.

I used to use WeeChat when I had a laptop with Debian on the side for
IRC. Tight budget prohibits a computer running all the time now and I
only really use my windows PC.

that worked well. Had to 're-install' hexchat to get the python/perl
stuff. Interesting, 2.14.x didn't let me choose where to install. Had
to use the 2.12.x installer and update internally.
