What shorcuts?

---

like Ctrl + k is to do your colours and Ctrl + U for underline

---

and THIS is using IRC style formatting....
not ·$...

something else you forgot, instead of the index number to define colors, the RGB style of defining colors.

---

also cookie when you do it with BBCode formatting enabled it makes

code:

---

[c=|] [/c]

---

( | = where your writing thingy is )

umm cokie what do you mean by RGB style... like 100,255,100?? or something else??

°ŠτЄ° this is my nick...does someone want format it for me, please? then I'll add the number for the colours... THANK YOU ALL

---

·$<colour>°Š&#964;&#1028;°·$<colour for changing banner>

format it yourself in the proper way:

Go to a conversation and use the command "/nick":
/nick type you name and where you want a color press CTRL+K and select or type the color index

eg:

/nick Hello <CTRL+K>4World

will become:
Hello World

i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!

what you call IRC style formatting, is not IRC style formatting at all. In fact those codes are internal codes and should not be used by the normal user directly.

Indeed... bas things happen when you tell people to use dodgy characters. This is translated from #msgplus.nl:

<ITSME> ey
<ITSME> does anybody know which stripe i need for those colors just like - but a little smaller
<ITSME> well???
<ITSME> can somebody give it to me please
<ITSME> ?
<ITSME> MEnthis
<ITSME> Menthix please give me that stripe
<ITSME> #msgplus

Don't tell people to use such characters... tell the the proper keyboard shortcuts.

If you mean by banner the personal message. Then you can properly color it like this:

Method 1

Within the Windows Live Messenger Preferences, change your screen name and/or personal message and add the color codes you want. You can type them manually, or use the formatting panel (though, the formatting panel will only work on your total screen name).

Note1: Using the IRC style shortcuts here doesn't work.
Note2: You yourself will not see the colors in your personal message in the user's information bar on top of the contact list. Your contacts will though.






Method 2

Go into a conversation and use the /nick and/or /psm command to color parts of your screen name and/or personal message.

With this you can use IRC Style shortcuts like CTRL+K, CTRL+U, etc. eg:

With IRC Style shortcuts:

/nick Cookie<CTRL+K>46Revised

/psm <CTRL+B>my <CTRL+O><CTRL+K>4colored<CTRL+O> personal<CTRL+K>12message

With manually entering BBCode Style codes:

/nick Cookie[c=46]Revised[/c]

/psm [b]my[/b] [c=4]colored[/c] personal [c=12]message[/c]



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Now there is also a command /nick2.

The difference between /nick and /nick2 is explained in detail here:
"CookieRevised's reply to What is the difference between /nick and /nick2?"

So you can color anything which goes after your nickname because the /nick2 command leaves out the format reset code (<CTRL+O>) at the end of the name. In contrast to /nick which will always put it there. As a result, you can color the "says:" text and the information text tooltip in a conversation if you use the command /nick2.

Note that this will only work when you use IRC Style code formatting, because BBCode style formatting always encapsulates text; they need to have an opening tag and a closing tag... IRC Style codes do not:

/nick2 Cookie<CTRL+K>46Revised
