Subject: Customizable text color in history

I use dark theme of QT programs. In window 'history' opponent text displays with blue color and it is not readable.
Please add option for manual setup of text color in 'history'.

More visual customization is planned in a future release, maybe even in 0.12.

I wrote a patch for add this feature in program. It add two options in dialog 'Options->Appearance' for color choose. Also I add more options in config file, in section <colors> - 'historyto' and 'historyfrom'.

For apply this patch run next command:

cd psi-0.11RC3
patch -p1 < history_color.path

Maybe it would make more sense if it just uses the same colour that's used for the chat window itself (both the same foreground and the same background.) That way as long as the chat window is readable the history is readable, plus it kind of preserves the original look of the message.

Yes, I see what in chat dialog nickname colors are hardcoded (blue and red).
I change code on chatdlg.cpp in function void ChatDlg::appendMessage(const Message &m, bool local)

if(local) {
      who = d->pa->nick();
      color = option.color[cHistoryTo].name();
    }
    else {
      who = d->dispNick;
      color = option.color[cHistoryFrom].name();
    }

Now these colors are customizable
