I understand that it used to be the case, in part, that the chat window was colored by faction. In fact, it still is in certain places.

I like the colors the way they are, in separate chat modes (sector, guild, etc.) but it would be more than awesome if just the names of people in the window reflected their faction, and the text color remained as it is now. Sort of like the #vrelay appears, I guess.

Yes.

Pie?
