Instead of so many Custom Names feature threads, I thought I'd set up a poll to properly gauge what users thought. That way, Patchou will have some idea of how much in demand it really is.

Custom names is a new feature of WLM, and it works like plus old feature

That may be, but I liked how you could colourize their custom names from Plus. That's what I miss most...

Still, even tho the majority of people who want it back into Plus Live.....Patchou said he wouldn't because Microsoft incorperated it into WLM

It would be helpful but it will not be done as a (in my opinion) less useful (I dont use custom names) one is done by Microsoft

you can colourize their custom names

Put this in the custom name(its an example)
[c=16]Name[/c=5]

Actually, Patchou said he'd consider it, depending on how MS develops their feature!

If you're talking about colouring names using the WLM custom name feature, I'd love to know how! I've tried many different ways and I can't get the colour to change, just the bold, italic, etc

EDIT:

OK, so I can get that to work, and I've managed to figure out that the colour codes are the same standard colours used in IRC formatting. It's a step up from no colour, but it's still not as flexible as the original Plus feature (would it have been so hard for them to support HEX colour codes? )
