ColorNick v2 is a plugin for Messenger Plus! 2/3 ONLY!  There will be no new version for Messenger Plus! Live

NOTE: a "FAQ" is now available here, including how to use ColorNick and common problems. Please read the FAQ before asking questions!

Current (and last) version: 2.0.708

Download: here

Features:

• All features of ColorNick 1 are of course there: bold, italic, underline, gradients, single color ; instant preview of the result ; color also "says:" ...
  
• Now you can color what you want: only the selection, or the entire nick.
  
• You can color the background of the text (single color or gradient of course).
  
• New command /xcolortext , similar to /xcolornick but for normal text (messages).
  
• New "auto-coloration" feature: you set a default color/gradient in the Preferences, you enable it, and then you only have to type /xcolornick My Nickname (or /xcolortext...) to color your text without showing the dialog.
  
• You can use Plus! control codes with auto-coloration enabled (CTRL+B, CTRL+T, etc...)
  
• Standard MSN emoticons won't be altered when using a gradient effect.
  
• Enhanced color-codes decimator to get a less-than-129-characters-long nickname
  
• Save your favorite nicknames to call them back later quickly thanks to /xquicknick (quicktext-like feature).
  
• Imports your current nick (with colors!).
  
• Completely new interface.
  
• Internet updates.
  
• Import/export the config from the Preferences window.
  
• Available in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan and Italian.
  
• Installer/uninstaller (you can uninstall from "Add/Delete Programs")

• /xcolornick <nickname>  = change your nick
  
• /xcolortext <message>  = send colored text
  
• /xquicknick <shortcut>  = if a shortcut is specified, use the associated nick; else show the QuickNick dialog
  
• /xquicknicksave <shortcut> = save your current nick and use the specified argument as shortcut.
  
• /xcolornickcfg  = Preferences dialog
  
• /xcolornickabout = About... dialog
  
• /xcolornickhelp = shows the readme file

• your contacts need Messenger Plus! to see the colors.
  
• the colors of the nickname are not those you choosed in ColorNick  ->  some color codes are automatically deleted to get a shorter raw nickname (< 129 characters). Try using less colors or a shorter nickname.
  
• if an error occurs during install, please be sure you closed MSN Messenger and all word processors (like MS Word) ; do not ignore the file.
  
• do not use custom emoticons with shortcuts "#" or "$"
  
• if you get an error "RTF->XML : can't find \viewkind ..." , there is nothing to do but wait for ColorNick 3 ; this is a known bug in ColorNick v2.

gr8 job! thank you!

looks very good , i will give it a test now

Good work Mithrandir, I tested and it works very good
BTW I haven't found a bug yet

I am not sure if its just my computer or what, but when I installed the plugin and reloaded them nothing. So I closed the Plus! and MSN Messenger process and restarted both and Plus! failed to hook Messenger and display no recovery window, also a few secs later MSN Messenger Crashed. So i removed and unregistered the DLL and removed the reg key and restarted both and it worked. So not quite sure if its just my comp or what, but i will retest it when I come home from baseball tonight.

Matty

I found a little bug

Looks like you coded the thing in french first, when you are editting the nick and you press "show code" it becomes "voir pseudo" should be "show nick" Except for that !

edit: ok there's a bug

i edit the nick to look like this:



Looks good there... this is the code that appears in case u need it (also shows the above bug )



However, when i press ok, this is what shows up:



The kaboom part should be black.... and i'd like should be red....

I hope this helps...

About the colors: it's not a bug, it's a normal behaviour. You're using too many colors in your long nick, so ColorNick deletes color codes to get a shorter raw nickname (< 129 characters). For the moment there is no way to have a longer nick, so please use less colors or a shorter nick !

Now about the "Voir le pseudo" bug... This string is stored, with all others messages (errors, etc...), in a resource file for both languages (English=1033 and French=1036). It doesn't change when you change ColorNick's interface language. I think Windows should use the right translation (French system -> French translation; others -> English ?). I also see that the contact showed in screenshots speaks French, and so do you. If you have a French Windows, it's normal for you to see "Voir le pseudo". Why don't use the French interface of ColorNick?

Lol, i do have a french windows

But i'm more fluent in english (very complicated story) I don't mind having that stay in french, i was just letting you know

And yeah, after i posted that i realised my nick was a little too long so im gonna make it shorter now or use less colors

I'm gonna test this now, and btw, all the features I was hoping for are there

If I can, I'll make a Dutch translation

Well, I've found quite some bugs right now:

- You can't translate everything
- other *.lng files exept for french.lng and english.lng aren't loaded <-- this could also be my crappy knowledge of the format (If that could have anything to do with it)
- If you use an "\" in a nickname, it'll become "\\"
- The updater works fine exept for the wrong version of the plugin itself

Well, anyway, if these thing could be fixed, I'd like the Plugin a bit more

I've also uploaded my *.lng file, it doesn't load in ColorNick, but you can use it if you rename it to english.lng or french.lng

EDIT: deleted the file since it's already in ColorNick now

yeah, new version 2.0.629
if you still have the previous one you can use the Update feature, else download it from http://crespel.chez.tiscali.fr

New in this version:
- fixed a bug with underlined text
- "\" gets "\\" -> fixed
- fixed missing translation for "Text" tab in the Preferences
- Dutch translation thanks to |\/|artij|\|

Mithrandir.... you can't say this isnt a bug

I got this once i rebooted my pc and loaded msn....


Then...

Then...

the colour to nick plugin shud be in english i dnt under stand a word it ever says and i got the english version of it as well thats the part thats pritty lame

VGProManiac... colornick.xml seems to be used by another application but I don't understand : which application is supposed to use this file??? Also, the messages you show in screenshot are meant to be in French, aren't they?

de dumb get dumber ... Well I made it in French first, and then translated it into English. But you shouldn't see any French word (since 2.0.629 of course) if you have an English Windows and Colornick's interface language set to English (error messages are choosen by windows from the resource file, or should be)

Reloaded ColorNick but it's still the same. The french has gone but there is no nickname box at the top like everyone elses.

There is NO nickname box at the top of the Preferences window... What you are showing in the screenshot is the "auto-coloration" feature. To edit your nickname, use /xcolornick command, not /xcolornickcfg . To color your text, use /xcolortext command.

Auto-coloration, when enabled (see the checkbox next to tab's title - in Preferences), colors the text provided as argument to /xcolornick with a default color or gradient, without showing the usual dialog (the one you're looking for).
For example, you enable Auto-coloration for Text, close the Preferences window, and type /xcolortext My Messsage. This message will be colored with a gradient effect from blue to red for example.

New version 2.0.630 !

New in this version:
- Bug: "{" and "}" get "\{" and "\}" (fixed).
- Added "Help" button in main dialog, showing the readme file.
- Added /xcolornickhelp command, similar to "Help" button.

If you already have ColorNick, you can use the Update feature, else you can download it from http://crespel.chez.tiscali.fr

the message that i have when i'm installing it:

fout bij het schrijven naar schijf:
"C:WINDOWS/SYSTEM/RICHTX32.OCX"


The message that i get when i'm click on show code:
[b]er is een onbekende fout opgetreden (code 13). Colernick zou nu instabiel kunnen zijn, wil je colernick nu herladen?
de fout was: (the fould was 8 @rtf2xml -> type mismatch

(dutch computer)
(windows 98 (seccond edition))

Sounds like the file is in use, close all applacations that could be using it (like Word for example)

i have updated it again, see the post above ^^^^

I think you aren't looking at the correct window... (like benjyrama -> http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=27...=270613#pid270613).

This is the Preferences window, and you're using the "auto-coloration" feature. The usual window (the one in my screenshot) can be shown thanks to the command: /xcolornick. But, as you probably enabled this auto-coloration feature, please disable it before trying /xcolornick : uncheck the checkbox next to the tab title in the Preferences.

All the commands can be found in the "Plus! -> Plugins -> Colornick" menu of each conversation window. You have also a /xcolornickhelp command showing the readme file (version >2.0.630 only)

---

I think there's a bug.

See screenshot attached.

(I meant, the gradient options are not shown correctly).

strange
It isn't only the gradient options, it's ALL the gradients of the interface

These gradients are created with the standard gdi32 library from Windows, and I think the code is OK (nobody else seems to have the problem). It's perhaps a memory problem? How many RAM have you got...? You were perhaps running too many programs at the same time...?

You can also try restarting Windows, starting MSN and see if the problem is still there. If it is, ok there is a bug

Restarted and the problem's still there.

Windows version: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
Messenger Version: 6.2.0133
Messenger Plus! version: 3.01.0094
RAM: 384MB
Processor: PIV 2.40 GHz

I was using Polygamy, but not many progs at the same time.

BTW, I've done Catalan translation for ColorNick. Do I have to post it here, or what?

The problem may come from Polygamy; try closing all MSN Messengers and use the old Windows Messenger (if it works in WinMessenger, it's probably polygamy ). Else... we'll see.

About the Catalan translation : first, thank you for translating it; please email me your MSN address (colornick -at- tiscali.fr). There are other things to translate, and it's better to communicate with MSN Messenger

For a strange reason I can't remember now, I uninstalled the old Windows Messenger so I can't test it.

But if you need, I can re-download it .

New version 2.0.705 :

- Added Spanish translation thanks to Pedro
- Added Catalan translation thanks to Tarry
- Added "known limitations" section to the readme file

If you already have ColorNick you can use the update feature (in the Preferences window), else you can download it from http://crespel.chez.tiscali.fr

A new version, again ! 2.0.708

- Added Italian translation thanks to LuCa and Tipo82.
- Added two buttons to Preferences, to import/export the config.
- Added "/xquicknicksave <shortcut>" command.
- Bug while using "/xcolornick <nickname>" (fixed).
- Bug: Messenger wasn't started at the end of the install on some systems.

as usual you can update it with the Update feature or http://crespel.chez.tiscali.fr

Its a cool thing but if my name is to lang there standing 0/16 ....

I have a problem that nobody else has:
error rtf->xml: can't found "\viewkind" -> unexpected behavior

I get that when pressing "show code" or when pressink "ok" on nick color or text color

your download link on your page is very dodgy:
http://crespel.chez.tiscali.fr/count.php
yet it returns "CNsetup.exe.php" :/

Small bug: on a multi-monitored system the preferences panel doesn't popup on the main monitor used for MSN Messenger.... <== make that every (config) window that pops up....

PS: I also found many (small) mistakes in the dutch translation, how do I report them?

for me it's CNsetup.exe (with IE)
it's a very simple php script that counts the number of downloads and sends the file

code:

---

...

$cnsetup = "plugins/CNsetup.exe";
header("Content-Type: application/exe");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=CNsetup.exe");
readfile($cnsetup);

sorry, what I meant was: how? listing every mistake and telling where it is will take a very long time. It's far more efficient if I can directly alter the resource (RES) file and send that...

---

quote:

So if I get the string table inside the dll and also the lng-file I have all the strings that are translated? Or are there any more strings somewhere?

Mithrandir, i see that you have put up some updates, how exactly do we install them, just over the old one or do we uninstal the old one?

simply install over the old version (but don't forget to close MSN before )

im getting the gradient problem as well as a problem where no matter what name i choose, the first 5-6 character are displayed white

the gradient problem is a strange thing, and Tarry doesn't have this problem anymore...

but could you describe your second problem more precisely ? version of Windows, errors during install, the nickname and the colors you wanted, perhaps a screenshot...?

actually nvm,
the first problem got solved by reinstalling.
second problem was my fault...i was using gradient on too many character and was exceeding the name limit

it would be a good idea to have a notification if the name goes over the limit...otherwise

thanks for the quick reply
great tool

well, i reinstalled the plugin, everything went ok on the install (as it did last time) and I still get the error
when i do a text color and click ok i get the popup error then i click ok on that and it sends this message:

that would be of course possible, but it'll soon be very annoying
with 13 characters you already have 1 color code deleted...

you'll get a message if ALL the color codes are deleted, or if the nick is >129 characters

it's not the kind of RTF code I expect... I don't know why for some people it's this kind of code, and for others it's te same as mine... I thought it was the RichTextBox version which was the problem, but you said everything is ok in the install...

Could you describe your system? language, version of riched20.dll and richtx32.ocx (in C:\Windows\System)...

i've stil got the annoying problem that i've posted before...
no one answered on that problem of me, sow i post a screen now with my problem, very mutch thnx to the person that helps me

Try closing all running applications before installing ColorNick (including Messenger of course). The file appears to be in use, so it can't replace it...

If the error still occurs, try to Ignore it ("Negeren" ?) and see if ColorNick works. If it does not... you can try booting windows in safe mode and install from there, or wait for the next release (no more richtx32.ocx)

OK hello everybody! I'm new here but I have a problem with the CorlorNick v2....

I have insatalled it... its in my plugins. and it want work.. I have it checked.. and my nick.. it will not change to what I set it too..

My version is: 2.0.708

Thanks!

Well thats the problem I dont see anychange in my nick's color.... and could you tell me how to post a screenshot?

Thanks,
      MIKE

Are you using the /xcolornick command or are you trying to color your nick through the Preferences panel? (some people did that...)

To make a screenshot press the Print Screen key on your keyboard, then open an image processing software like Photoshop, and paste the screenshot in a new document. Be sure to save it as JPEG to reduce its size.
And then post it here as Attachment.

I like this plugin. I'd like to put it to Mess.be

May I link the file directly to your website? That will be handy in case you update it -- people will automatically get the newer version.

I don't think I am allowed to link to MsgPlus.net files. I will just upload it to Mess.be server.
I would ask you to notify me through a PM when there is a new version available, so i can upload it! Thanks

<edit>
Thanks for providong db information!
</edit>

<edit2>
Ok, I have posted it! Check it out: www.mess.be
Btw, don't thank me, thank yourself
</edit2>

my color nickname doesn't show up at msn main window,it shows some strange codes before my nickname.but it's fine in the message (chat) windows.how can i fix it?
thanks.

Those "strange codes" are MsgPlus! color codes, that are transformed in colors in conversations.

The only one, who can do anything about it is Patchou himself.

well you only have to type /xcolornick and press Enter in a conversation window, and you'll see the dialog...
did you read the instructions at the beginning of the installer ?

all the commands can be found in the Plus! -> Plugins -> ColorNick v2 menu

---

hey Mithrandir,
thanks for creating such a wonderful program. =)
im experiencing a little bug here.
im currently using msg plus! 2 and msn 6.2. I managed to install ColorNick v2 and was able to run it. i typed in my usual nickname, which is 6 characters long, with no emoticons or other special features, in the slot provided by the program. did abit of gradient colouring and some simple background colour changes.
The problem, after i did all tht and clicked the 'show code' button, i get this pop-up error stating
"Error rtf -> xml: can't found "\"viewkind" -> unexpected behaviour" 
and shortly after that, i get another pop-up saying that my nick was too long.  In your readme file, you stated that u're allowed 129 characters long. why do i get pop-up when i only have 6 letters?
anyone experiencing the same problem?
is there any way to solve this?

Is it compatible with all Windows versions? I'm using Win98. and it seems the ColorNick v2 doesnt work for me. I have Messenger Plus 3.20. By the way...is it true that most plug-ins doesnt work for Win98? thanks....

The problem is with short color codes. If you try to color "1" in red for example (code 4), the result will be "41". And there comes the problem: 41 is a color code too

If you try to color ".1" or "blahblahblah 1" in red, it'll work because the first character to be colored is not a number.

I wonder how to solve this problem... I could add a space between the color code and the number, that wouldn't be difficult but if you try to color in red the "1" in "blahblah1", you'll get "blahblah 1"
I could also use the long color code (#FF0000 for example) instead of the short one when the character is a number...
Anyway, I'll try to fix it for the next version

for the moment, please do it manually by copy/pasting and editing the code given by the "Show code" button

Same with background colors, eg: 4,091 ("1" in foreground color 4, background color 9)

In short, put a zero in front of the number if the colornumber is only 1 digit to make it correct (because actually a colorcode consists of 2 digits).

I am having a problem with mine. It sais to click on PLUS! then plugin, and ColorNickV2 but when I click on PlUS! there is no plugin option. I clicked on pref. and there was a plugin, and said ColorNick V2 but it won't let me change my nick name color. Please help.

Mithrandir - a suggestion: how bout you investigate a little and figure out exactly how those codes that at suppose to change the font in your nickname work and incorperate them into ColorNick v3?

OK another suggestion; will v3 be compatible with Polygamy? as you may know when 2 messengers start up the second cant have the XML loaded because its in use. Any chance you can fix that? Out of all the plugins i have in Plus! yours is the only one imcompatible with polygamy

If it's not compatible with MSN 7 yet, it's because the /nick command does not work in Plus! 3.40. I hope Patchou will solve this issue soon . Anyway he already did a great job with MSN 7 nearly-complete compatibility

For the moment, you'll have to press the "Show Code" button in ColorNick after creating your nickname, copy the code, and then open Messenger's Options to paste the new nickname.

Hi everyone ,

On the 1st hand i would like to thanks Mithrandir for his great log., the coding isnt perfect yet but the log. itself is great,
On the second hand i would like to know if theres a command for an auto-colouring text (then i wouldnt have to type /xcolortext <text>)
Thanks for replying me.
Regards

That's a good suggestion, just like the auto-talkers in SPNG.

i just want to know, how to disable the auto coloration?

you can expect this feature to be in the next release!

btw I was thinking of another new feature I could perhaps add... Something to add text before and after the nickname, to produce this kind of effect: •·.·´¯`·.·•Nickname•·.·´¯`·.·•
What do you think of it? (I have to know if someone will use it before coding it )

I'm still open to any other suggestion

---

wow... it's cool though...goooo job and keep up the good work

q1: Is there a feature such as chat-only name (as in SPNG) so that on other contact's list the name does not appear in code? It would be cool to be able to do this. Will it work if I paste the code into SPNG's chat-only name? (I cannot see the code button. see q3)

q2: how do the names apear in the chat window when the contact does not have plus?

q3: when I go into the prefferences of colornick (via msgplus plugins configure button) I dont get the show code button but only the 2 tabs for nick and text coloring. (is there an / command?) See attachment please.

a1: no, use SP-NG for the chat-only names and it will work if you paste the code in.

a2: probably like this, for example "Andreyblablabla" would look like this: "·$4Andrey·$9bla·$12bla·$8bla·0"

a3: you can see the code when you open a conversation window and enter /xcolornick. "Show Code"-button at the topright.
Also try the commands in the "conversation window" -> "Plus!" -> "Plugins" -> ColorNickv2" they are quite useful

So hows it going......

Hi. I have question to install program.
- I don't know about "Validation Code"
- How I get a code to install program ?

Thank you for answer.

anyway, here is what to do:

- in a conversation window, click Plus! -> Plugins -> ColorNick v2 -> Configure...
- uncheck the 2 checkboxes at the top of the window (see screenshot in attachment)
- click Close
- in a conversation window, type /xcolornick and press Enter
-> now you can edit your nickname normally

I know this auto-coloration feature is quite confusing, I'll make things clearer in ColorNick v3 (yes, I finally decided to start working on v3 - not v2.1 or 2.5 as I said some time ago )

Hey people i get the error

Error rtf-> xml : can't found "\viewkind" -> unexpected behavior

then once i click ok it tells me that "The nickname is too long. Please choose another one, or change the text formatting."

Anybody wanna help me out here please

Sounds good....3 suggestions....

-when changing a nick ColorNick2 sometimes mixes the old colors from the previous nick with the new colors. So a sorta clear would be nice Example:

My current nick: [red]hey[/red]
I put in CN: [blue]hey ouou[/blue]
CN sends: /nick "Im changing my nick"
After a few seconds: [blue]hey ouou[/blue]


It would allow CN to sorta clear its memory...

- Multiline Nick support
- Some talker like effects to nicks; eg aLtErNaTiNg, ALL CAPS, biIIGERTOSMALler

Hi,
I did not read the whole thread, so... sorry if anyone already had posted this....

- I have a suggestion... When I select part of the nick/text, and change its colour, the text becomes deselected.... So, i have to select it again, to apply another colour.... It's very annoying sometimes.... Can the selected text remains selected after applying a colour?

[sorry my english]

I have downloaded the ColorNick2 with the Stuff Plug NG and I have MSN 7.0.0425 the public beta and MSG PLUS 3.40.109.
How do i exactly work it? Because when i go to Plus! > Preferences >Plugins > ColorNick2 >



Is this what's meant to happen? Because I can't see the text bar with my nickname in it. Do i have to change my MSN Messenger version back to 6.2 or something? Because my window for ColorNick2 is different to everyone elses...

Please help.

Just type /xcolornick in a conversation window and press enter. You can also find other features in the Plus! > Plugins > ColorNick v2 menu in the conversation window.

I'll mess with it but I'll probably end up not using it.

thanx. omgsh.. this iiz really cool. congrats on making msn more unique. =)

I have a question!!!!

And thats why I dont use Colornick. Maybe its my problem i dont know.

check out the picture.

if i write a normal nick from the Tools-Options on the main window or using /nick feature
--------------
Example:

/nick Moooo, Baaa , squeak, meau , woof ..Quack ..Oink..eeek..

and then store the nick using /xquicknicksave <shortcut> or the Plugins menu..

when i reload the nick later it gets like "·$,0Moooo,·$1 ·$1Baaa·$1·$1,·$1 ·$1squeak,·$1 ·$1meau·$1·$1,·$1 ·$1woof·$1·$1..Quack·$1 ·$1..Oink..eeek..·$1·0"


I mean cmon, i've made a single normal nick with no tags at all, why does color nick puts all those tags in the nick? It would be acceptable if i made actually a COLOR NICK. but i didnt. It was just a normal nick. Theres no need to Colornick puts those tags. And that will not become so pretty to someone using webmessenger or someone without plus!

Now i've looked at options of colornick.. and there's nothing that cancels Colornick on adding unuseful tags when not needed plz help ?


CONCLUSION: IF I SET A NICK WITH NO COLORS OR WHATEVER, WHY DOES COLORNICK ADD TAGS TO IT?

Bad news Mithrandir - Plus! out the of the box supports colors/formats in the Personal Message area



This feature is gonna be asked for ALOT in ColorNick. Its too bad you dont got time for 3.......oh well.....

this is a great plugin and works fine for me and is simple to use keep up the good work

Its been a while since some ColorNick2 news....

Im looking for some news about Colornick2 (or 3?) and about adding a PSM feature (using Stuffplug-NG's /xpsm feature). Also the Mess.be patch as you may or may not know allows the PSM to grow up to 500 characters so if you could make it compatible with that too it be great.

what should i do??? so i can make color nicks???

Mithrandir  I thank u so much.....

thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mithrandir: I was wondering that maybe you could take of the CountNick project made by cyberdude as he says that the project is "dead" and will release the source if anyone wants to continue. It would be to combo it as a single app to control your nick

I Download The ColorNick v2. But it doesn't work on msn messenger 7.0 only on Windows Messenger! What's up with that?

i used the keyboard to have my name in colour. it is fantastic.
when does the next version comes out?

i can hardly wait.

I just finished my ColorNick v2 plugin for MsgPlus! It's I think far far better than the previous version.

NOTE: ColorNick v2 won't be updated anymore, next version will be ColorNick 3.

Current version: 2.0.708

Features:

• All features of ColorNick 1 are of course there: bold, italic, underline, gradients, single color ; instant preview of the result ; color also "says:" ...
  
• Now you can color what you want: only the selection, or the entire nick.
  
• You can color the background of the text (single color or gradient of course).
  
• New command /xcolortext , similar to /xcolornick but for normal text (messages).
  
• New "auto-coloration" feature: you set a default color/gradient in the Preferences, you enable it, and then you only have to type /xcolornick My Nickname (or /xcolortext...) to color your text without showing the dialog.
  
• You can use Plus! control codes with auto-coloration enabled (CTRL+B, CTRL+T, etc...)
  
• Standard MSN emoticons won't be altered when using a gradient effect.
  
• Enhanced color-codes decimator to get a less-than-129-characters-long nickname
  
• Save your favorite nicknames to call them back later quickly thanks to /xquicknick (quicktext-like feature).
  
• Imports your current nick (with colors!).
  
• Completely new interface.
  
• Internet updates.
  
• Import/export the config from the Preferences window.
  
• Available in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan and Italian.
  
• Installer/uninstaller (you can uninstall from "Add/Delete Programs")

How to use: open a conversation window with any contact, type one of these commands and press Enter:

• /xcolornick <nickname>  = change your nick
  
• /xcolortext <message>  = send colored text
  
• /xquicknick <shortcut>  = if a shortcut is specified, use the associated nick; else show the QuickNick dialog
  
• /xquicknicksave <shortcut> = save your current nick and use the specified argument as shortcut.
  
• /xcolornickcfg  = Preferences dialog
  
• /xcolornickabout = About... dialog
  
• /xcolornickhelp = shows the readme file

All these commands are available through the Plus! -> Plugins -> ColorNick v2 menu of any conversation window.

Known limitations:

• your contacts need Messenger Plus! to see the colors.
  
• the colors of the nickname are not those you choosed in ColorNick  ->  some color codes are automatically deleted to get a shorter raw nickname (< 129 characters). Try using less colors or a shorter nickname.
  
• if an error occurs during install, please be sure you closed MSN Messenger and all word processors (like MS Word) ; do not ignore the file.
  
• do not use custom emoticons with shortcuts "#" or "$"
  
• if you get an error "RTF->XML : can't find \viewkind ..." , there is nothing to do but wait for ColorNick 3 ; this is a known bug in ColorNick v2.

ColorNick, as a plugin, is easier to use than many other programs: you don't have to run an EXE, create the nick, copy and paste the code: you simply click "OK" and you nickname is set.

You can download it from http://perso.wanadoo.fr/mithrandir/

There are probably some bugs left, so if you encounter an error please tell me !
You can contact me by email (colornick -at- msgplus.net) or by answering to this thread.
Also, if you enjoy my plugin, tell me too !

please dont double/triple post, it is against the rules

please note there may not be a next version

Damn someone should make a clone of this plugin

BUG: MSN Messenger 7.5.0299
Plus! 3.54.132

I change my nick to something like: How are [blue]you[/blue] doing? Im [green]good[/green] how about [red]you?[/red]

In other words alot of colors. I directly get the code and use the /nick command from the convo window but it doesnt apply any colors at all to anything. Bolding it all works but still no colors.

riahc4, I'll contact you soon about this bug, as I need more information ; but remember this may be a Plus! issue with MSN 7.5

Unfortunately the CPU fan of my comptuer decided to stop working yesterday, I don't know yet if the CPU is dead or not, and anyway I have no computer until the fan is replaced

Now, about ColorNick 3... when I first started working on it, I began with a new Visual Basic project and designed the interface and the language system. Then, as CN3 would need subclassing and other advanced techniques, I decided to code it in C++ ...
But, as I'm a beginner in this language, development is too long and time-consuming, so here is what I think I'll do: I'll create another Visual Basic project for Colornick v2.1, copy/paste the "clean" parts of ColorNick v2 and its interface, and recode the buggy parts. This way I hope I'll be able to release a bug-free (or almost ) version of ColorNick v2, then I'll have time to continue ColorNick 3.

I'm also making a "FAQ" section for ColorNick v2, with instructions on how to use it (/xcolornick in a conversation window instead of Config dialog!)

I have a problem , the window where the nick appears does not appear to me. Help me please

Nice program. Perhaps you could make it into a script for Messenger Plus! Live.

is it possible to auto colour ur text, as in dont have to write "/xcolortext" <- this code?

Any versions that work for Live Plus?

There will be no new version of ColorNick for Messenger Plus! Live, because it is now much easier to color your nickname thanks to the "Format" button in the Options dialog. Sorry.

Anyway, I would like to thank all the users of ColorNick v2 (more than 3 million downloads in the plugin database) for trying and using my little plugin, which I hope made your experience of colors in Messenger Plus! 3 a bit easier
