O.P. New plugin: ColorNick
Hi everybody

I've just finished the first version of my first plugin: ColorNick.
It creates colored nicknames with:
- one color
- a gradient from Color 1 to Color 2
- a gradient from Color 2 to Color 1
- a central gradient: Color 1 -> Color 2 -> Color 1
- a central gradient: Color 2 -> Color 1 -> Color 2

The command is /xcolornick <nickname> ; it shows a dialog.
You can also find it in the "Plus! -> Plugin" menu. All is explained in the Readme, in the install program.

Features:
- the colors can be anything: ColorNick uses the classical Windows dialog to choose color.
- the color is set for the foreground of the entire nick (this will probably change in the future), but it's possible to select only letters and make them bold, italic or underline.
- if a gradient nick needs too much characters (>129), color tags are automatically deleted
- colors appear as you type (no need to click on a "preview" button...)
- two languages available: French (I'm French) and of course English.
- install / uninstall program: Uninstall (CNuninst.exe) is located in plugin's folder (C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins).

Todo
- support of the background color / gradient
- possibility to choose what to color : the entire text or only the selection
- perhaps a "favorites" list of colored nicks and/or gradients?

-> Download: see attachment OR http://crespel.chez.tiscali.fr/download/CNsetup.exe
(in this case you'll have to copy/paste it in the address bar, because Tiscali doesn't seem to accept direct links...)

If you have any suggestion or bug report, please email me (fabien at crespel dot net) or post in this thread.
I hope you will try & enjoy it !
