The contrast between text and its borders or the scroll buttons and the background is rather low, What exactly is a "scroll button"? That isn't terminology I am familiar with. Does it refer to the buttons at the top and bottom of the scroll bar? I'd expect them to be easily identifyable because they're in the scroll bar. Or are these something else? Another helpful, user-friendly feature could be to color new messages, or input requests in the minibuffer, to attract the attention of the user. When you say "color new messages", does that mean that a message would be first displayed with one color (the "new message" color), and then changed to another color (the "old message" color)?
