If you send messages to your opponent during a game, the messages you send are hardly readable (for yourself) , would it be possible to change this?

Actually the ones my opponent sends me a dark grey and easy to read, but mine are light grey are very difficult to read.

I have logged in from several places and always had this problem.

Thanks for the reply erik.

for my old eyes i would like to see them a little darker and therefore more legible. - why not the same density?

Not sure how hard or easy this would be, but imagine if messages were time stamped and/or move stamped.  OK, vague concept, so let me explain.  Sometimes I log off, come back later, go to a game against an opponent in another time zone, and see that they asked me what time it is for me.  Only I don't know when they wrote that message.  I know that it is easy enough to find out how many hours apart we are, but still, it might be nice to see the time a message was sent ... or a move.  Sometimes I play against stronger opponents who might give me a helpful comment about "that last move I made", only when they write this I may have a bunch of other games going on for which it is my move, so I am not chatting at the moment.  When I get around to reading the comment, I am no longer sure which move is being described.

While we are discussing messages, is it possible to send non-game messages to more than one recipient?  As in a CC button?  Maybe it is there, but I have never seen it.  It would help in making introductions, and also then one could CC oneself, so that the message sent can be read later if need be.

 I find the messages a little light for my liking as well.  Not impossible to read, but I've also thought I would like to see better contrast against the white background.
