User:Int 80h/files/mono.theme

The mono theme is designed to work with text terminals such as the VT220.

It supports a different scroll marker ("--more--"), I suggest the following for the more variable found in ~/.irssi/config:

 more = "{more --more--}";

  # message from you is printed. "msgownnick" specifies the styling of the
