A quick hack to remove the gradient and add some color would be to edit
two classes in gnome-shell.css to this (or something similar):

.chat-received {
    color: #412bad;
    padding-left: 4px;
    border-radius: 4px;
}

.chat-sent {
    color: #dedede;
    padding-left: 4px;
    border-radius: 4px;
}

Then hit Alt-F2 and type rt to reload the theme.

Regards.
