#2 Chat Bubbles [Rethinking the Chat Interface]

New blog post out at Prabros. Design blog.

Here is the second shot from the series, When a chat is seen the chat bubble is made pale with the eye replacing the delivered sign. I have included another state in the animation which is the blinking eye to signify if the other user is still in our chat window. If the eye stops blinking and become static you can know the user has left the window and might only reply later.
