One more suggestion from me .. hehe.

I just wanted to suggest that names got like random colour codes, so that you could see where a new line began. E.g. at a meeting I was in today I was VERY confused, because everyone was typing so many things, and it all just looked like it was the same line in my History view. (All white text (including names))

This may be an issue to do with my vision as well hehe, but hey .. if I have the problem chances are that a few at least have it too :-)

Random may not be a good idea, but then just give the option for users to have the same color as they use for their pointing particles, or another color.

Thank you for listening :-)

hErbs, I like colorcoded schtuff too. Visual cues are great to point the eye to places. I also find its weird you can change the color of main chat text on the overlay but not IM text (which is always white).

just a color to separate name from text would be enough for me. such as...

just something to break up all of that text.

I don't even mind if it's a subtle change from name to text said .. like a white tinted with green, red or blue .. would actually look good to me I think .. but it's just one colour now :-/
