qirssi is a trayicon and message notifier for irssi.

Features:

• You can open and close easily a terminal window containing a screen session running irssi by using the qirssi trayicon.

• You can get new message alerts by icon and/or balloon alerts.

• The alerts are also configurable by regular expressions. You can, for example, get alerts only for private messages from some nicks.

• It is not required to run DBus nor notification-daemon. All the required communication is done using plain Unix Domain Sockets.
