You can set the font, size, and color from the font dialog in your conversation window. If you want multiple colors or gradients, you can use the BBCodes (MP!L only) here's some examples:
quote:
[c=blue]This will appear in blue[/c
[c=red]This will appear as an gradient from red to blue[/c=blue]
Please note these will only be visible for contacts with Messenger Plus! Live.
To disable emoticons in your and your contacts messages, click "Tools->Show Emoticons" in any chats menu. If your contact has this feature enabled, he will be seeing emoticons you wont.
If you don't want to have emoticons in your messages, and they wont be visible to your contact either, use the /noicon command.
Type this in a conversation:
quote:
/noicon This text is without emoticons!
