RE: [suggestion] Why not make colored underline?
It's a nice idea and sounds simple -- but it's not simple at all.
The standard underline is a font decoration. The program asks Windows to draw text using specified font, color and with or without underline. The program can then forget all about the underline and Windows will do all the work -- positioning the underline correctly, figuring out exact widths of variably spaced characters, not underlining spaces and punctuation, and so forth.
Unfortunately, this facility treats the underline as part of the font and draws it in the same color. The only way to get a colored underline is to draw it yourself, which requires doing all of the above yourself too, making it a pretty complex task.
In case of Plus! it may be an impossible task, as the text is most likely drawn by code in Messenger itself.
