Message author display name and username are too dark

Created by: lydatech

Everything is blended into the matte gray color. I think maybe a stronger contrast?

This is pretty intentional so that the actual message content is dominant rather than the name of the person and the contrast passes AA accessibility contrast standards (admitadly, not AAA).

For the most part, it's the content that is more important than the sender, but the sender still passes readability tests.

There are plenty of community made dark themes for Gitter. Why don't you browse them for inspiration?
