Description David Edmundson 2012-02-06 23:14:53 UTC
As they both use the same font it's hard to visually separate "Me: " and "Lasath: " from actual messages and it all blurs into one

Suggest making the names in bold (ala gmail) or using avatars (like Facebook)

Make plasmoid render outgoing messages in Plasma::Theme::highlightColor color

Looks okay in Air, don't know about other themes. Will probably make an
option to allow overriding later.
