It would be nice if there was a feature that let you change the color of your friend's chat so you could distinguish it more easily if you are trying to have a conversation and 5 other people all talking at once.

Well taco, your idea is a start but I think mine is somewhat better. Read on...

Or perhaps he could copy the lobby text into Microsoft Word, then use Control + F key to find all instances where the name of his friend is mentioned. For each instance where his friend's name is found, highlight the block of text next to his name and change the font color to something that pleases the OP. Repeat for each friend (don't forget to save your work once every five minutes or so, so you don't lose your work and have to start all over again from scratch). Once all your friends text color has been changed, you take it to the next step by highlighting all NON-Friendly text and using a light gray color so that portion of the text stands out less, thus highlighting the contrast between your friendlies and non-friendlies. Do final quick-save (control + S) and marvel at how aesthetic pleasing it is to read the convo between you and your friends now. Repeat once every 15-30 minutes once lobby gets full of more text.

What do you think?
