It would be super helpful to use color to indicate direction of message in the log window #1267

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I find the log window hard to visually parse.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like a clear indicator of source of the content, as the <- and -> are too subtle If you look at this sequence it is not clear at all what the bot is saying vs the user image

Using color doesn't affect layout, but makes it a LOT easier to see the user input

Describe alternatives you've considered We tried labeling with BOT and USER text and that took up too much space.
