Just to try the VB plugins, i adapted a fading program i wrote a while back to the new VB plugin format (just like to say in advance that i stole none of this code from anyone, that i've never download or even seen gradier and that i wrote this originally as a request from a m8 of mine).
Well, /xfade gradually fades the text color from black to white, and looks good
p.s. the readme's all my own
