Default [Q] Seperate Colors for SMS Thread

Currently both received and sent messages are the same color. Is there a method of changing this so that the recipient is one color and the sender is a different color?

I saw a method of doing this online though it was poorly explained and therefore difficult to execute. It was along the lines of opening the file manager, creating a folder called MEDIA, then a folder called NOTIFICATIONS inside of it. The step that didn't make sense was "copy the files into that folder". No files were specified so i have a difficult time figuring out which files those were.

Thanks for your help

I got the different colors (2 shades of blue) with the Mango upgrade. Are you on Mango yet?

If you are and sitll don't have the colors then I have no idea.

mango changes it so there are two different shades of your theme color, that old method would work if you aren't on mango, because i don't think there are any file managers that currently work on mango.
