Actually, it might be better to just show you guys a screenshot.

It makes sense to use a muted color for collapsed messages, because
you want the expanded messages to "jump out" visually. This is
especially the case when you have a long email conversation with lots
of collapsed messages.
I tried out cross hatches and in my opinion it seems to work very
well.
Normal messages:
Expanded background = white
Collapsed background = light grey on white cross hatches
Sent messages:
Expanded background = light grey
Collapsed background = dark grey on light grey cross hatches
I'm attaching an updated message-viewer.css file. You can try this
out by moving it into the "theming" directory under Geary root.

I wonder if the grey for collapsed messages is needed at all. Did
you already try to use white for the collapsed messages (same as for
expanded messages) and use the grey for the sent messages?

Light grey would probably feel the most natural, but the issue is
that collapsed messages are also light grey. Up until now, we tried
to get around this by playing with the color scheme. It looks like
that hasn't turned out too well, so maybe there is a way to
distinguish sent messages from collapsed messages that doesn't
involve color? Maybe collapsed messages could have some sort of
hatched background, but otherwise remain the same color as sent
messages?

Apple Mail has a similar feature, but mails sent by yourself
appear with a
light gray background. I wonder if that would look better here?

I'm also not quite sure what color would be better or how to
improve this.
Maybe it has to be grey, but grey isn't easy as well, especially
if you
come to a point where you have three or for different kinds of
grey.
Maybe think about a different solution? Highlighting own
messages by using
some icon or arrow? Only highlight the header with the labels? I
don't
know.... How does Apple Mail display the own messages in the
threaded view?

Hey Joey --
We tried out a few color schemes and weren't satisfied with any
of them.
I had a concern working through it that the problem was that I
was not
used to the colors at all (I've been using Geary for some time
now) and
wanted to try them on for size, so to speak.
That said, I'm still not entirely happy with it and plan on
revisiting
the issue soon. I suspect we'll either find a new color scheme
or simply
revert the color change.

Hi all,
maybe this is only a question of taste :-) But I don't like
the yellow
background for the mails sent by me very much.
I like the idea to easily see what was my own message in the
threaded
view. But when I have a desktop environment with mostly grey
and some blue
colors, like Gnome 3 default and many other Gnome 3 and GTK 3
themes, I
think the yellow background doesn't quite fit together with
this.
Of course this is only my personal impression. However I
wanted to share
this with you and ask others, what they think ...
And of course: I know this is not *that* important and I want
to thank
you once again for all your work for buildung this great new
linux mail
client ;-)
Let me know what you think about it ...
Bye
Joey
