Fluent Messaging (Fluent Community Chat) > Enhancement sugestion

On mobile, itโ€™s not always easy to distinguish between sent and received messages at a glance.

Using different colors for each (similar to WhatsApp) could help a lot. In any case, making the distinction crystal clear would significantly improve the mobile UX.

Also next to your own message can be also shown your avatar.

Drive Zoneย Yeah. I was thinking of that too. Thank you for bringing it up!

btw, for color styling you can use selector "div.message.message--own"

Drive Zoneย Cool!

Feel free to use my code if you want:

.fluent-messaging .message--own .messagereply,
.chat-widget-wrapper .message--own .message
reply {
color: #dadde1;
}

.fluent-messaging .message--own .messagereaction-count,
.chat-widget-wrapper .message--own .message
reaction-count {
color: #ffffff;
}

.fluent-messaging .message--own .messagereaction,
.chat-widget-wrapper .message--own .message
reaction {
background-color: #ffffff3b;
border: 1px solid rgb(255 255 255 / 42%);
}

div.message.message--own:hover {
background-color: #1877f2;
}

div.message.message--own {
background-color: #0088ff;
}

.fluent-messaging .message--own .messagetext, .chat-widget-wrapper .message--own .messagetext, .fluent-messaging .message--own .messagetime, .chat-widget-wrapper .message--own .messagetime {
color: #ffffff;
}
