Colour Names by Smithers-Jones on 05-30-2004 at 11:01 AM

i no it must be a silly question but how do you get colour names.


RE: Colour Names by Sk3tch on 05-30-2004 at 11:02 AM

In the chat window press Ctrl + K, pick any colour you like and type what you want to say :)

Very Simple, and you can do multi-colours over and over as well as as Ctrl + B for bold and more..

Yes, it is. Do not try to copy your name to the Options dialog box, but use the /nick command.

Instead of copying it, like Tochjo said just press enter/send after your done and it should (with the /nick command) set it as your nickname, you do not need to open your personal settings to change :)

Copying the code will not work, as the square character is considered invalid by MSN. This also means that NickEXP will not work, unless you use it with the /nick command.

Simply: open convobox
type: /nick ctrl+b ctrl+k <nick> and press enter
and voila nick is changed..no copying and pasting!

No, this is currently not possible. There are some codes that can change your font to something like Courier, but this is not easy to do. You might want to search the forums for that.
