[Psi-devel] Psi defaults

[Daniel Díaz]

Hello.

Now that we're talking about defaults, I'd like to comment that I feel
really weird with the chatdlg colors: I've grown accustomed to blue
for me and red for my peer. Does anybody feel the same? I often get
the wrong impression that have new messages when I see the chat dialog
far away my desktop.

Greetings!
