Preview pane: Color for quoted text, detect position of reply #27

Closed mrusme closed 2 years ago

It would probably increase readability if quoted text in the preview pane was a different color.

Also it was suggested to maybe try and detect where the actual reply is and automatically scroll to it in the preview. Not quite sure if that really helps with readability or confuses more than it should though.

The colored quotes were implemented in master. Still checking to see if there's any way to scroll the preview without making it super confusing for the user.

I've tested a few more things locally but haven't found a way to build this that is not super weird for the user. I believe scrolling to a different position per article will always lead to confusion, no matter how it's done. I even tried some animated scrolling, but it's still confusing to have one article stay at the top and the next one scrolling past the first few lines as they're just a quote.

I will dismiss the changes and close this issue because I don't think the scrolling part is feasible.
