To be clear, the algorithm uses the bare JID of the occupant instead of the occupants nickname if it is known to the client (requires non-anon rooms or at least moderator privilegues, IIRC). > Another point I feel about but I don't know how to defend is that people > not using MSN would see their different nicks colored the same. Indeed. This is a trade-off: (a) prefer nickname: consistent coloring everywhere, iff the same people use the same nicknames. The downside is that entities using different nicknames while the JID is known get colored differently. (b) prefer JID: inconsistent coloring between rooms where the JID of the participants is known and where it is not known. Note that this inconsistency is consistent when showing avatars (usually, those are only available iff the bare JID is visible, too). Has the other advantage that the same entity gets the same color if the JID is known. So (b) has a much nicer UX if we simply ignore (semi-)anonymous rooms. It has a slightly worse UX if the set of people overlaps between (semi-)anonymous and non-anonymous rooms. I have no strong opinion one way or the other, but we need a configuration- switch-free consistent behaviour here. Any arguments welcome. kind regards, Jonas
