would you like it more if background wouldn't be so tightly cropped (text having some extra space related to background border)?

I do prefer the text without the modified background. Perhaps there's a way to reconcile it, but for now the difference between foreground and background is too great.

I suppose a little, but I don't see the need to have separate background colors for the text. Makes it all a little busier than I think it needs to be.

well it is always a matter of preferences. I find it MUCH better to read (and I spent so much time with this that I am pretty confident) - but having more opinions is very valuable and I might go without background color as default

I'd need to spend more time with it. I liked the text alignment, but the solid blocks of colour feel somehow disconnected from the display area rather than integrated with it.

My feeling is if the coloured block filled the entire width of the box, and was mostly transparent, it would feel more seamless. Maybe even just some transparency to make the block effect more subtle would do the trick for me.

I think that better explains my issue with it.

You are right guys, will listen to you

implemented first version of rumor mill. Still very early work in progress, but supports quest progress rumors (RumorsDuringQuest, RumorsPostsuccess, RumorsPostfailure) and quest action "rumor mill"

there are also 10 random rumors generated, but they lack macro resolving for most of them

but it is a start

Awesome! Now I can start adding rumors Thanks Nystul.

question to interkarma: is there an easy way to check if a specific static npc is the current quest's questor?
would need this for QuestorPostsuccess and QuestorPostfailure messages

and it needs to be more specific than just comparing the npc's name since this could be theoretically the same for different npcs
