Does not have specific color for the message with my name

[Omer Akram]

Binary package hint: adium-theme-ubuntu

In an IRC channel when someone directly refers to me i.e. sends a message with my name this theme dont have any specific color so that I could get attention to the message.

In bug#392488 iTorry wrote "Can someone provide me with the CSS class name that's used when the IRC client alerts someone that their name has been said?"

@iTorry I asked at empathy support channel and got this
"In the adium spec there is that %textbackgroundcolor{X}% 20:05
but not used by empathy"

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Please ignore 20:05

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

not a bug in empathy

@Nicolò Chieffo, can you take a look into this?

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

I don't think that the adium theme knows what is my name, so this is
also an empathy bug.

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

I'm sorry, obviously adium knows my name.
What exactly should this do? When there is my nickname the whole message must be highlighted, or just my nickname?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

that message in which my name is called should have a whole new color. maybe red as many IRC channels including empathy(without adium theme) uses red

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

No.
Actually, incoming messages in adium only know the name of the sender and not my name, so this can't be done in adium-theme-ubuntu. (as long as I know, because I've just read the adium site. I'm definitely not an adium expert)

[iTorrey (rice)]

There is no %myname% type tag however this could be done via a textsearch of the incoming message using javascript.

Something like incomingTextVar.search(/myName/i) should find it. However there's no way to set what YOUR name is, until you send a message (at least in Adium that is the case) (see the vars available and when they are evaluated at http://trac.adium.im/wiki/CreatingMessageStyles) so, yes, it's possible to do this with the theme, would I recommend it? No. It would be a lot of work for something that should be handled by Empathy and passed down to the theme.

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

But in this way we're no more adium compatible, because we must add a
parameter to the javascript functions.
This is a big lack of adium, but I see that in the adium changelog
they state that when someone writes your name the message color is red
