Comment:

 The problem involves me being outside (or in a well-lit room) with my
 laptop; the glare and lack of contrast between the default colours and the
 white background makes the nicknames hard to read, without tilting my
 laptop screen temporarily.

 The problem is with IRC and multi-person chats, not one-on-one messenger.

 Furthermore, the lack of contrast from a targeted IRC message makes it
 very difficult to see who said my nickname last in the chatroom.

 Maybe all nicknames could be made somewhat darker and in bold?
 Furthermore, maybe a targeted nickname could be bold and red, with the
 message text being bold and dark red?
