Chatting on Gnome-shell

[Onyeibo Oku <twohotis gmail com>]

After a chat session with a friend while running Gnome-shell, I decided 
to illustrate my previous suggestions.  I have attached a screenshot of 
my chat (with his permission) here:

My observations once again:
1. Its hard to differentiate between my text and his.
2. The gradients behind the text are supposed to fix the problem in #1 
but they don't do that effectively.  They add to the visual chaos.

My Suggestion ... see:

1. I think coloured and/or bold text will do it better
2. Feature requests:  Add the fading to the top of the text scroll as 
the text leaves the chat dialogue. Make the Icon more prominent, indent 
text to the right if necessary, to allow an enhanced icon.  If it sticks 
out, COOOOOL!.
