Most client has a special command /me which will be replaced to message sender's nickname in the chat transcript and such message is displayed in special color (pink in Spark). Spark is not replacing /me command in toast popups. So, currently it is displayed like "username says: /me going to bed". I have filed this as a bug some time ago. Though now i feel this could be more as a trivial improvement, if needed at all. Because popup already shows who has said the message. Also one can see that someone has used /me command, without even looking in the chat window.
I wait for suggestions on this. Maybe this could be closed without any changes. Of course such message could be shown in popup like "username is going to bed" and maybe in pink color. Would be nice, but maybe not worth coding 🙂
this is marked as close, i have synced the SVN and compiled the newest version and this still shows the old behavior to me.

Thanks to Konstantin.
Patch was applyed with a small change msg.replaceFirst("/me", "") to: msg.replaceFirst("/me", getTitle())

In my patch /me replacing with empty string & set magenta color for message. In cstux's patch /me replacing with users nickname. But i think nickname is already set in title and it don't need in the message body.

Pity, but my NetBeans is not accepting this patch. So, what it really does? Michael's fix sounds reasonable. So it just replaces /me to nickname in the toast popup?

I think we replace this with the name not with nothing. 🙂
I have change this line from msg.replaceFirst("/me", "") to: msg.replaceFirst("/me", getTitle())
But I think wroot must decide this, before I will commit this!
