A full-featured Twitch chat client that allows simultaneous channel connections and enables you to communicate with other users outside your browser.

Changelog

Switched Global Twitch Emotes to new API
Some new Global Emotes that weren't in the old API should be available now
Smilies are not handled very well through the new API (e.g. can't know which type of smilies a user has selected, in case they have Turbo/Prime), so there is a setting now that determines which type should be used for sent messages locally in Chatty (automatically set using the old API until it is removed)
Added Local Emotes setting
Allows you to add Twitch Emotes to always be available in sent messages locally in Chatty, to work around the issue of some emotes not being available through the API, especially with the shutdown of the old API soon (of course others will only see emotes in your messages you actually have access to)
As long as the old API is still available, the Emote Dialog can show "Endangered Emotes" (meaning they are only available through the old API) to help you in deciding which emotes might make sense to add as Local Emotes
Since this is a manual process it makes sense to only add emotes that you have permanent access to
Tab Info Settings: Added custom color setting affecting color related options
