Right Justify messages from contacts

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Currently, all the conversation is left-justified. This makes differentiating messages a bit hard; the colours on the names of the contact helps, but it would be nice if the two also are differently justified. Check out qTox. They do it this way.
Describe the solution you'd like
The users messages can be left-justified, and the contact's messages right-justified. Then there will be two ways to deal with time-stamps & 'message received' tick-marks. The can be correspondingly right, and left justified, or, have space reserved on the right side: a column for these two things.
Additional context
I don't know for sure if it will be better, but do consider it, if you like it, or think it will help make the Ux clearer.
I think e.g. skype just adds more padding the the left of your own messages and moves the arrow to the other side. Maybe that's an option as well?
I think one other thing that leads to clutter in that the profile name and picture is shown for every message. It will look much better, if it is only shown when the sender changes.
