Background colours in Dispaly name by GuitarboiUK on 08-22-2004 at 10:48 PM
is there a text background colour tag that will work in the Display name? I have tried (!FG<number>) but it dont work. I am using the ·$<number> to colour the text itself, and that works.

try getting Colournick v2 from the Messenger Plus plugins page, that has lots of tools to customize your nickname with colours and such. it'll allow you to colour your nickname, both text and/or background without having to know any code

hello
welcome to the forums, to make your name with a background colour try using this:
type /nick in a conversation window> hold ctrl and hit k and add > , < a comma
and the choose your colour from the box. (it'll stay there as you press the comma too) then choose the number of colour( anumber will appear thats why...) and then type your nick name out and press enter and there, you have a pretty lookin' nick 
and you can also ad colour letters again too
/nick (ctrl k),(numbercolour) nickname
Edit: thanks matty. but i dont see ctrl+ anywhere 
wow confusion.

This doesn't change the background colour at all, it only changes the color of the text, (!FGxx) changes the background color, just choose inbetween 1-100 for you background color.

To end the confussion:
the format is:
<ctrl+k>FGC,BGC
FGC = foreground color
BGC = Background color
eg: /nick <ctrl+k>45,12my colored nick with background color
or use the color-tags:
(!FCxx) Set the color of the text (xx is between 01 and 67)
(!FGxx) Set the background color of the text
eg: /nick (!FC45)(!FG12)my colored nick with background color
