Ctrl + K and pick up the color.

thanks for the infor..... but still not sure how to change the contact's name to colour.. not working for me

To my knowledge, this is something that works with custom names only.  So, go to rename a contact, type in the name, highlight that portion with your mouse, and then click CTRL-K (a color window will come up) and choose your color.  You have to have "Display formatting attributes..." checked in the preference settings of contacts.

If you wish to still see the person's MSN name, add (!N) in the custom name field, and that will show it.

Hope that helps.

hey Patchou a small request: as u may or may not know there are "codes" that change the font in your nick. Well you ever support this in custom names and other places? ColorNick's author said he might put it in the plugin if you support it. If its not too much trouble put the codes in. If someone cant use them it wont hurt them just being there...

Awesome... People are still complainin' 'bout the removal of the "hide ad" option...
I think you should start removing or editin that kind of posts Patchou... They're useless because you ain't gonna changa ya mind and they're not helpin in anything...

Just SEARCH for some other software or PATCH that removes the advertisment banner guys! it's not that hard.... trust me...

Small annoying bug...

Open a conversation Window
Right click a contact, and open a window to rename it
Leave the rename window open, and try to chat with someone.

You won't be able to type.

you can see the codes when you select a color in the Ctrl + K panel.

I haven't still tested it, but it's not an annoying bug. It's a picky one. just close the window to rename him/her and chat

Hmmm.... would it be possible to simply give a user a color without a custom name, this way i could give special contacts special colors and still see what names they put on.... i think that would be a pretty sweet feature...

Basically just like the desktop feature but with more available colors (maybe like those hexagons that allow you to chose a laaaarge variety of colors) it could be implemented on the desktop icons too

edit: while i'm at it, can i request a slider thing for desktop icon transparencies, this way we could make it exactly how we want... and an option to not have a border? or like a different border/text color for online/offline.... these are just ideas... i think improving the GUI for the floating contacts would be pretty sweet

this can already be done first give your contact the custom name of "(!N)" that's a command that displays a contacts exact nickname as they set it to be. once this nickname is completely highlighted hold down ctrl and press k this will give you a box of colours that you can use to give a colour to the name thus displaying their actual nickname in your chosen colour as you have asked.

i don't know about whether patchou or anyone will add more colours but hopefully they will.

Hmmm... the (!N) is a pretty cool idea.... i knew that.... grrrr

Well seeing how everything is becoming more colorful, i don't see why he wouldn't do that
