2. replace the three files (html, css, js) in the same folder with my modded files

i tried for about one hour to get absolute paths to work but it doesn't seem to work. so i had to place the png in the html-folder.
also the method which is used for fetching the pictures of the contacts doesn't seem to work for the own avatar - and it's not clickable too. ^^

Looks great

But if you observe your UI more closely you will notice that it does have one major flaw which will cause your eyes to tire really quickly:

Your picture and the picture of the person on the other end of the conversation are on two opposing sides. Since that moves the beginning of each new line of conversation further to the left / to the right, it causes your eyes to jump between left and right constantly which I find really annoying.

It's not by far I know, but it still bugs me.

One solution would be to align all avatars on the left?...
