This is sure to be a controversial change... As I mentioned the other day in #pidgin, our tab coloring is inconsistent. This change makes tabs turn red for either IM messages or chat messages where your nick is said. (Ordinary messages in chats now use blue.) This way, red is always the important color. If you have a window with chats and IM conversations, you wouldn't have to search a sea of red to find the important tab.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
