after many requests... i decided to make it (THIS WAY YOU GET QUALITY j/k)

i made it in like 5 mins... so if you find any errors please tell me.

it changes the font color, you need to close your active chatwindows for the changes to take effect.

commands:

/xCLChange  : change color... color selection dialog pops-up.
/xCLShare     :  share the plugin with others

download here

Thanks Whacko.
Can you please tell me how to use this, please.

I can get the colour menu to show up, but when i pick the colour i want, I click ok. But my colour stays the same.

Could this be because i'm using the 6.1 beta?


Thank for any help.


Windows Version: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
Messenger Client Version: 6.1.0114
Messenger Plus! Version: 2.21.0054

Did you remember to follow the...CLOSE YOUR ACTIVE CHATWINDOWS...part? It works fine on my system n I have 6.1...

Yes, I signed out of messenger, then closed messenger down.

Was that right?

Well all I had to do was close the window I had typed it in (it was the only window open) and then it worked fine...ah well...you could just use Messenger Helper if you're wanting a colour changer though...works fine...just it's chat logs dont work with 6.1...

whacko u do this in vb or c?

I'm havin trouble in vb writing binary to the registry....I aint dealt in binary before

It's working now

I uninstalled both messenger an Plus!
Installed both again an the colour changer plugin.
All working great now.

Thanks for your help JaymachRalTir, an thankyou Whacko for the plugin

* DarKnight thanks Whacko a lot!

This plug-in works great. I haven't found any bugs yet. This is way much faster than going in a paint program to get the color code, then go into the registry.

Hey Umm if your willing would you put the source on here? im sorta startig to look at diff source codes and if your willing i would like to look at this one.

Cool, cheers man it's great!

Awesome work, this is THE plugin I was hoping to find.

I have to take the time to give you a big thanks for making it .... you get me without words....is stupped this ok patchout never made just the user have to came out and make it

Nice work, no problems here.
It's a lot easy too than using an outside application or registry editor to do it.

how u find out wot passport number you're signed in as??

excelent!!!

I noticed one bug. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed it. When you change the color of your font it will change every passports font color stored in the registry.

i thought i saw that but i wasnt sure cuz i had a diff font for that account and it made it look darer so i thought i just had the same color just diff tints well no big deal unless you want deiffrent "specail" colors on bott acunts well mabey he oculd release the source lol asked before and no reply.

OH BTW... THERES A SMALL EASTER-EGG IN THE LAST VERSION. NOT VERY HARD TO FIND... JUST CLICK ERATICALLY

For some stupid reason I can't get it to work...
I put it in the plugin folder...and had all the convos closed. Then I opened one and typed /xCLchange and nothing happened...exactly what I wrote appeared in the convo as if I was writing "cat" or "dog" or anything....nothing popped up. What did I do wrong?

Try regestering it...

Start menu, run, then type:

regserv32 "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins\wCLChange.dlll"

Assuming that's where you put the file, that is...

that made a lot of sense wipey.....

okay sorry I'll point u then

you could use a simple prog like eydropper (link here) to get the colour to change ur font to.

if your after some other person's font then it will already be installed on ur comp otherwise you wudnt see it and would just see a default font such as arial therefore u should just be able to select it in the choose font dialogue....

however it would be cool to steal a colour from someone's font with a simple command

yeah it would be very funny something like /xcontactfont......
