Class colors in unlinked message text #2

Would be nice to color the player names when they join/leave group.

"PlayerName-ServerName has joined/left the raid group."

Those names aren't actually links, so they don't contain the information needed to color them. For "joined" messages it would be possible to scan the group, find the player who joined, and get their class that way. For "left" messages, though, I'd have to keep track of group members names, realms and classes myself on an ongoing basis to have access to that information after someone left the group.

It's certainly possible do implement such a feature, but I probably won't add it to PhanxChat. It could easily be done with a standalone addon, that could be extended to detecting and coloring un-linked player names in various other messages as well.

I see, i might look into it and hack something together.
