This issue Relates to:

VWR-8513 1.21 nightly: orange color for object chat is ugly

Description

« Hide

Chat colors for the normal skin have been switched to a light blue for regular chat.
Chat colors for objects have been changed.
Chat colors for llOwnerSay have changed.

Possibly other chat color changes as well.

Also, another thing noticed is that when the chat history window is closed, chat lines appear much higher above the input bar than before, and the spacing between chat lines has increased, causing more screen real estate to be covered with chat than before.

It would be very nice if selecting the classic skin would preserve classic chat colors as well.

Thanks for reporting this! It looks like your concern is primarily around the colors. Similar concerns have also been raised in ~~VWR-8836~~ and VWR-8513. To prevent the proliferation of the same issue, let's track the concern in either of those places.

But indeed, the chat console (that is what its called when the Local Chat window is closed) also had its spacing slightly increased by design. That wasnt clear from the release notes, but I have corrected the omission.
