Fire colors

I don't want to send outgoing text colors, because people may have 
non-default backgrounds.

I don't want to receive outgoing text colors, because I can't read 
black-on-black.

The default settings seem to screw up with Yahoo (outgoing 
black-on-white, incoming default white-on-black). Incoming text shows 
up as black-on-black. Also, somehow, outgoing text shows up as 
black-on-black (this is only with Yahoo, it seems).

I can change my background to white (this defeats the whole purpose of 
allowing the user to set a background color), or I can force text to be 
white-on-black. My text still does not show, so I have to send white 
text, which nobody else can read.

The 'override colors' button should also override the colors you send. 
The color boxes beside the checkbox should also never be disabled 
(because they set the default color, which matters regardless of 
whether you normally override colors or not). It'd also be nice if 
there was an "Override default colors" (i.e. any text color close to 
white or black).

And there should be a "Do not send colors". I don't want to send 
colors. Or, at least, "always send default colors" ("default" being 
defined by the service's client's default, if there is one).

And changing the background color with chat windows open should not 
mess up the "Nick (11:22:33): " background (specifically, it doesn't 
change the background).

I guess I should file a bug. I don't see a 'submit bug' button on the 
bugs page though.
