Colors of messages should depend on contact

[stefan-niedermann]

Current behavior

• Header bar gets a random color
• Received msg is grey
• Sent msg is green

Expected behavior

• Header bar gets a random color
• Received msg should get a color based on the Header bar color
• Sent msg should be grey

Example

• Header bar is rgb(124, 116, 231) (purple)
• Received msg border should be rgba(124, 116, 231, .6) (purple)
• Received msg background should be rgba(124, 116, 231, .15) (a semi transparent version of the purple that is used in the Header bar)
• Sent msg should be like todays Received msg - grey

Pay attention to the alpha-channel usage: border = .6, background = .15

Benefit

1. Less colors, less cluttering
2. clear assignment of messages to the contact
3. Less important stuff (sent msg) is inconspicuos

interesting idea, can you provide a PR ?

[stefan-niedermann]

Yeah, but depends on how much time i can invest... i will maybe need some weeks to set up development environement and implement it.

[nerzhul]

no problem, we have time :) i'm on many libre projects not time to code everything together

Wasn't this fixed here https://github.com/nextcloud/ocsms/issues/149? I am also in favour of consistent colouring. @stefan-niedermann are you still available for this?

[stefan-niedermann]

Unfortunately not, i am currently very busy with Nextcloud Deck and Nextcloud Notes...
