A couple of quick ideas that would be nice... sorry if either are already there and I'm missing something obvious!

When in a (1-1) chat window, the title bar shows my own status on the right - eg [...online]. But it doesn't seem to reflect the other party's status - if I want to check I need to /roster. Maybe the name in the title bar could be coloured according to the status, or just append the status to the name?

Also on colours, it would be good to get in the theme something like
main.text.me=white
main.text.them=blue

To independently colour each side of the actual chat text, as well as just the names. ?

Both sound like reasonable ideas, I've added feature requests and will see what I can do.

I've added these changes in master. The message theme settings are as suggested (and are also used in chat rooms):

main.text.me
main.text.them

For the contact's presence in the titlebar, it is shown similar to the OTR status, and can also be coloured using theme settings:

titlebar.online
titlebar.offline
titlebar.away
titlebar.xa
titlebar.dnd
titlebar.chat


The presence is shown by default, to hide it there is a new command:

/presence off

Regards,

James.
