[Feature Request] Make bubble gradient toggleable

[sabogalc]

My reasoning for this is that on longer messages, the bottom of the bubble is a very light blue color, and since the text color is white, it can be hard on the eyes and difficult to read. The way I solved this for my personal copy was by setting from-me in _colors.scss to #0E85FF. Then, I changed --bubble-background in IMChatItem.scss from imessage-gradient to from-me. The reason I haven't made a pull request for this is because I want the option to be toggleable.
Below are some screenshots of how the gradient looks vs. how my implementation of a solid colored bubble works (note, I don't have an SMS enabled device, so I'm not sure how to deal with this for SMS or iMessage Business).




and below is a screenshot of this toggle in the BlueBubbles Desktop App

One thing I was worried about with making the bubbles solid blue was that it might make it difficult to see the blue highlight when selecting text, but thankfully the #0E85FF color does not cause this issue in my opinion. I think it is also a good color for the send button and the tapback bubble background, though come to think of it, maybe I should close that pull request and also make it toggleable. Let me know your thoughts.

In an effort to use a less random and more Apple approved shade of blue, I grabbed this screenshot from my Mac. To my eye, it looked like there was no gradient on either one of the blues (message bubble and tapback bubble)

I then went to this website to check what the exact shade of blue was, but I learned that there was a slight gradient. On the message bubble, the G and B values appeared to be within 111-113 and 226-229 respectively, while the R value appeared to be anywhere between 2-6.

I just figured I'd leave my findings here.

These two screenshots came from my iPad in another effort to get the blue as close to Apple's as possible.


Thankfully, this blue has no gradient on it, so it is the same color at all points in the circle. I found that it was #0B84FE

This shade of blue works out well, and it doesn't prevent the highlight/select text from being seen

I have not forgotten you! I will take a look at this and others next week. Thank you so much
