Keep username colors consistent across channels #15

Open japhb opened 2 years ago

japhb commented 2 years ago

Would it be possible to keep username colors consistent across channels (and time, presumably)? It would give a better sense of the same person actually being the same.

That's going to be tricky with the current setup, as all of that logic is per channel.

I was considering being able to prime the nick color cache with the nicks of prominent visitors (fsvo prominent). This would also be per channel, but at least we could make sure the priming would be the same over all channels.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I'd rather have the system pick good colors for a given render rather than try to pick one color per user and keep it. (There's only so many "good" colors)

Update: I feel like one of your other tickets (#16) highlights my point about good colors.
