[pack-osrs-dark] Distinguish selected and unread chat tabs (iawhd)

[cannonpalms]

Currently, the colors used for the currently selected chat tab and chat tabs with unread messages are extremely similar. The currently selected chat tab is ever so slightly darker than unread chat tabs, but this is indiscernible at a glance.

I suggest trying the slightly brighter red that is currently being used for selected interface tabs (e.g. inventory, equipment, friends list, etc.). If that slightly brighter red still is not sufficiently distinguishable, perhaps either the selected chat tab or unread message tabs can go to a darker gray (i.e. the dark gray used for unselected interface tabs [inventory, etc.]).

Update: I actually quite like the solution Noedel uses in his OSRS-Grey theme as well. It makes it clear which chat tab is selected via a concave / depressed look. More food for thought.

Hey @cannonpalms,

It's not something I've noticed before tbh (I leave my chat on ALL), but I agree this could be better.

I'll take a look at this now and get an update pushed as my pack is slightly behind anyway.

The way I did it (and the way it is in the vanilla skin) is to rotate the button 180 degrees. So if you want an easy solution that looks familiar to the original skins you could try that.

Edit:
I'd also like to add the wiki button to this request (can't see difference between static and pressed). You can take that from pack-osrs-dark-light if you want.

@iawhd Any progress on this? If you haven't already completed this on your end, I suggest using Noedel's chatbox/button_selected.png. I'm not familiar enough with resource packs to be able to tell you if you would also need to pull in Noedel's button_selected_hovered.png, etc.; I defer to your knowledge on this bit.

Noedel's grey (dark-light) theme is, of course, MIT licensed. If you decide to use his button, you merely have to add him to the license in your branch like so:

@noelvissers RE: your edit, I'd recommend opening a separate issue for discussion of other change requests.

@cannonpalms I made a new issue for the wiki button: #52. Thanks for letting me know ;)
