so i apologize if this is public knowledge, but it has become very annoying switching back between my browser and irc client. i know that someone posted a link to a web based one, but thats still switching between tabs. is there a browser that has an irc client to the side of it or something like that? if not does anyone know of a hack for webkit?
I am sure some IRC clients provide a "always on top" option which would do kind of what you are looking for.
For example in Irssi (A command line client) has a option for this.
Or there is also other ways to make windows always on top like using powermenu which can make any program be always on top http://www.abstractpath.com/powermenu/
Or you could even go about making your own plugin for your browser or even a standalone client.
