Actually.. i have corrected just the default style. Lets see if somebody complains about. > > I noticed that the "Typing label colour" doesn't apply to the background of > the status widget in the chat dialog (but it applies fine to the tab > label). I have initially set the color of the status info equals to the the tab label. But i really dont know if it is good to set them to the same color. The tab font color will contrast with the widget background and the status color will contrast with the font color (usually black). So, if i use a dark "Typing label colour", the tab font will seems well, but the status will be terrible (black font over a dark background). So, i keep yellow. I thought about extending the color configurations for everything possible. But.. I dont think this is good. The user will become lost with so many options, dont you think so? I have also being experiencing difficulty creating the labels, because i dont know what is a good name. For example: "Typing label colour", what is that? I know.. but i dont think it is intuitive. Many details i dont know how to handle. What do you all thinks about all of this: which font colors/backgrounds would be nice to be configurable? And about the styles, the ones i put is just an example, and i dont think common users will like (plugable styles would be nice... maybe). Which one we could provide? What more would be nice to be in that option tab? I'm little lost.. sorry... cause I dont have sufficient experience with useability yet. thanks all. --- Edans Sandes
