When I see there are unread message in a room that's not currently in focus (via the unread message count in the tab header) I switch to that tab but then have no idea which are the new messages, other than guessing based on the count I saw previously and what I remember of the converstation.

It would be great if there was some visual cue of where the new messages tart, perhaps a simple horizontal blue seperator bar between the read and and unread messages, which fades out after a short period (5 secs) or upon some action (I scroll it into view, that's what MetroTwit does).
