I tried this once before, but after chatting for a while in IRC with some other Elementalists, I realized how much I miss how clean IRC can be. Would people be okay with me changing Blab so that the color you set affects your name instead of your text? Please post your reasoning after you vote.

I'm all for it. The cleaner look sounds appealing to me.

Is there a way to set Panels so that users can have the display can be set to either colored names or colored text? I agree that colored names look cleaner but sometimes the colorful look is fun and vibrant in its own way.

I could play with this idea, but I can't guarantee it and we would need to choose a default

No, it's quicker to identify what was said by who with colored text. Coloring names is pointless.

I like the idea of colored names, and the cleaner look it will bring. But, I think it may make conversations a bit harder to track, with all the text looking the same.

Agree, if all the lines are white and only the names colored, it's more difficult to define who said what.

I like my slim italic grey :)

I voted "yes" but support optional with colored name being default.  If not 'both' then how about colored names with STYLE formatting such as italic, bold, underline, strikethrough, etc on the comment-text?
