Hello all of you,

so, how was your halloween this year? mine was pretty standard... I just can't wait to see the 13th Simpsons Halloween Special on Fox (in about 30 minutes, just enough time for me to write this post and order a pizza).

I just completed the multi-format feature and again, I want your input about it. Basically, it works the same as in mIRC. You can use Ctrl+K for color/background-color, Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+U for underlined and, an addition to IRC, Ctrl+T for italic (why not Ctrl+I? because Messenger uses it for inserting tabs).

To illustrate this in Messenger, here is a screenshot... I did some copy past from a fserv chanel on IRC so that I have different complex examples.



Let me know what you think about this... useful or not?... hope I didn't worked for nothing

Patchou.

OOMMMGG!

* Sholin drools!

Wow, that's awesome!

Does your contact have to have Plus! installed to see the background colors and everything?

Ya the person has to have MSGPLUS installed, it will just show up like mIRC code to people who dont have it installed, Like the following:

4,15 MSGPLUS ROCKS!

Oh, OK... well, MP2 will be so f**king great, everyone will have it installed.

Not trying to be a downer, but is it really that usefull 

It would be fun to change it, but not really that useful (/me sees this post gettign deleted  )

lol Muss, no, your "Go You" picture makes me smile everytime I see it so I won't delete your post ... there was something I wanted to add to my original thread but I forgot.... the examples shown in the screenshot are could be qualified as "extreme".... I personally think that it's very useful when you want to put some life in your message by puting a word in a specific color or in bold for example... colors can be very useful when you don't have the proper emoticon to express your feelings.

By the way... unlike IRC, I intend to support not 16 colors but 16 millions.... that way I'm sure I won't get complaints about "why didn't you put my favorite color!". Of course, the 16 predefined IRC colors are fully supported.

Last note... every IM windows has a "Override Text Format" menu.... if you do not like funly colors or formating, this option is for you. It will also apply if the user does not use special tags but put his default Messenger font to Symbol 21 Italic for example

* Menthix checks his email...
...THANK YOU!

Let's hope i finally get some time todo some good tewsting now

Colors look nice, but what i wanted to ask.... Patchou, what about creating a function that in some way can detect wether the person you talking to has plus yes or no (preferably detects IF it has plus!, which version too).

It's looking better by the day.  Now is there an ETA for getting it out the door yet?
