Commands:
=========
/xfade
- Displays Usage instructions
/xrfade text
- Fade between 2 random colours
/xnfade <numcolours> <colour> .... <colour> text
- Fade through <numcolours> colours specified
Usage:
======
Colours are specified in hexadecimal in RRGGBB format, for example:
/xnfade 2 FF0000 00FF00 some text
(will fade from red to green)
Some other colours in hex:
FF0000 = bright red
00FF00 = bright green
0000FF = bright blue
000000 = black
FFFFFF = white
7f7f7f = grey
FFFF00 = yellow
FF00FF = purple
00FFFF = cyan
When specifying a colour code, you can use a "?" mark to replace that digit with a random value, eg:
/xnfade 2 ??0000 00??00 some text
(will fade between a random red colour and a random blue colour)
You can also replace a colour with "*" as a shortcut instead of using "??????", eg:
/xnfade 2 * 000000 some text
(will fade between a random colour and black)
Also instead of typing a colour in hex, the following colours are now supported as words:
red, black, blue, green, white, grey, cyan, yellow and purple
eg you can do:
/xnfade 2 red green some text
For multiple fade within the same piece of text you can do:
/xnfade <numcolours> <colour> .... <colour> some text
eg:
/xnfade 8 red green blue purple yellow cyan blue red some text
If you want to disable the fade mid text type a <ctrl-k> character (if it works you should see the
Plus! colour menu come up) and another one to re-enable it. This is mostly useful for putting smileys
inside a colour fade, for example:
/xrfade this is a piece of text <ctrl-k><ctrl-k> with a smiley inside a colour fade

===========
Because there wasn't a readme provided with this version, I created one based upon the one provided with XFade v1.0. This readme isn't original.
