NVDA Add-on for Miranda NG
Purpose
To make reading of Miranda NG's chat messages easier.
ABOUT THE ADD-ON
This plugin was developed based on the chat windows layout set as default during the installation of the app and therefore will not work if they are altered.
The date and time are displayed in the log if the saving of more than ten messages per session is configured. This can be altered going to Miranda's settings, Message Sections, "Message History" tab.
