people often develop chat apps and they display chat conversion between two people in simple text box or rich text box. i want to develop a chat apps where i want to design chat conversion UI area look like Skype.
1) Skype chat conversion area show the conversion where other user name show as with different color
2) user can copy text from chat conversion area by mouse selection
3) chat conversion area is capable of showing emoticons.
4) chat conversion area can show progress bar when one user send file to other then progress bar is show at two end.
so here i am uploading few screen shot of Skype chat conversion area as a result you guys can visualize and can understand what kind of UI i want to develop.
