Simple Chat Client

The web offers plenty of communication channels users can pick from but Simple Chat Client has been created as an alternative to talk in the onet.pl chat.

It is aimed at Polish users but the interface is also translated into English, although this is not the default language and getting to switch to it can be pretty difficult.

Installation is smooth and does not present any challenges. Looks are nothing unexpected, as the most part of the main application screen is occupied by the chat window; in the upper part there are the menus and options.

As soon as you connect to the server you have access to the list of channels, which also shows the number of users available and the category assigned.

Just like in any chat application, there is the possibility to add emoticons to the communication as well as to customize your text to make it stand out. You can also use it with a webcam.

Connecting to multiple channels is supported in the application and you can switch between them thanks to the tabbed interface.

The settings section of the program is quite simple and permits personalizing colors as well as the sounds or the background image for the chat window. Moreover, it allows defining a new storage path for the log file.

Additional options permit connecting the program as soon as it stats, automatically enter “away” state when the computer is idle or joining your favorite channels from the get go.

Simple Chat Client stands by its name as there are no complicated options available and all the functionality touches on the channels available on onet.pl server. It offers the basic functions a standard chat client should have and nothing more.

However, the benefit of its usage stands in the quality of the conversation you can engage in.
