Well, I added support for colored names in version 3.50 already, but I don't use the color in the notification windows. Would it solve your problem if I did? (the name of the contact would have a different color, not the toast itself). Note that Idoubt this will be in version 3.50, more likely in a version 3.51 as I already have way too many things on my list for the next release .

having colour in alerts would be cool, but apparantly the official conversation pop-ups change colour depending on the colour of the conversation window, but i have the official ones turned off, so i wouldnt know.

I think they do: mine are black, like the convo windows.
