That color don't hurt my eyes, but it really isn't that great. Windows Icq uses "user is typing" caption. I think that is the more intuitive way to do. In licq, the icon that appears at contact list is a little confusing. I have took sometime until realising that it means "user is typing".

The "normal user chat" is a UserEventDlg, if I'm not wrong. It feels strange to me, but that is the way it is now. So, "chat panel" i agree is a bad name. But that tab has the style combo, so "colors" dont apply well also IMO. There is some options in other tabs that maybe we could change to this new panel. Well.. i will become busy for some days. Until there, Jon will be back, and we can see his opinion. One think I'm little afraid is about messing some coding/design patterns of the system. If necessary, please, give me some hints. see ya. --- Edans Sandes ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
