Hello, Erwin,
By design, RadChat doesn't support emoticons. However, it is a nice-to-have feature. That is why I have logged it in our feedback portal. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes and add your comments on the following link - feedback item.
Since one element shows the time of the message and the name of the author, both are affected by the red fore color. If you need just a part of the text to be colored, it is appropriate to use HTML-like text formatting as follows:
I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
Regards,
Dess

I have also updated your Telerik points.
As to the color of the name, note that the ChatMessageNameElement in the TextMessageItemElement displays the time of the message and author's name. You can customize the appearance by handling the RadChat.ItemFormatting event. Here is a sample code snippet how to change the fore color to red for the name element:private void radChat1_ItemFormatting(object sender, ChatItemElementEventArgs e){ TextMessageItemElement messageElement = e.ItemElement as TextMessageItemElement; if (messageElement!=null) { messageElement.NameLabelElement.ForeColor = Color.Red; }}Since one element shows the time of the message and the name of the author, both are affected by the red fore color. If you need just a part of the text to be colored, it is appropriate to use HTML-like text formatting as follows:
private void radChat1_ItemFormatting(object sender, ChatItemElementEventArgs e){ TextMessageItemElement messageElement = e.ItemElement as TextMessageItemElement; if (messageElement != null) { string[] tokens = messageElement.NameLabelElement.Text.Split(new char[] { ',' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries); if (tokens.Length > 1) { messageElement.NameLabelElement.DisableHTMLRendering = false; messageElement.NameLabelElement.Text = "<html>" + tokens[0] + "<color=red>" + tokens[1]; } }}I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

+1 for emoticon support. The feedback portal link does not go anywhere for me; is there a way I can follow the progress of this item?
