XFADE - by Finn

usage is

/xfade <colour> <colour> <text that you want coloured>

currently the colours can only be specified in hexadecimal in RRGGBB format

for example

/xfade 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

/xfade ??0000 00??00 some text

will select a random red colour and fade to a random blue colour

you can also replace a colour with "*" as a shortcut to doing ?????? eg

/xfade * 000000 some text

will fade between a random colour and black

/xrfade some text is simply a shortcut to /xfade * * some text (eg it always fades between 2 random colours)


also instead of typing a colour in hex the following colours are now supported as words

red
black
blue
green
white
grey
cyan
yellow
purple

eg you can do

/xfade 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>:D<ctrl-k> with a smiley inside a colour fade
