That's the drop down menu when you click plus on the main messenger window. You do not need this menu at all to get a coloured nick name.

Just follow the steps in the tutorial i posted.

Note: You can add multiple colors and text styles anywhere in your name, just use Ctrl+K or Ctrl+R at the place where you want to start the color or style.

4. Press Enter to change your display name.

RE: HELP ,coloured text !! I Fllow but it failed
1. Open a conversation window with any contact
2. Type in /nick
3. Press the space bar - This is important and needs to be done
4. Hold CTRL and press the Letter K
5. Type the name you would like to appear.
6. Press Enter
If you want more colours follow Step 4 again.

Note: You have to make sure to put a space after you type in /nick or else it wont work. What happens if you type in
code:
/nick Test

Does the name change to the Test?
