I hate to be a nuisance, but I am asking a very simple question.  How do you change the color of Contacts Nicknames?  Some one said like you put a code in front of it or something but I don't know the codes.  I am very grateful.

Asking questions isn't a nuisance, it's a very good way to learn

In order to do so you must have MSN Messenger 7. Right-click on a contact's name and go to Messenger Plus! Extras and then choose Rename Contact.

In this window you can press CTRL+K to bring up the colour options, and CTRL+B and CTRL+T and CTRL+U for other formatting controls

Thank you very very much

Hey,
Im not to into forums but I got a question

Well, I know you can change the colors of the contacts in the contacts list when you rename them, but is there a way to chang the color but leting them with the nink's they have?

If not, ell that could be a nice thing to add to the final Plus!

Well Thx in advance!

Though this is using the custom names feature, you can choose their custom name to be Ctrl+k(colour information) (!N)

(!N) = your contacts present msn display name.

Thx 4 the help!

thankyou so much! I was coming in here to ask the same question, and you gave me exactly what I was looking for!

...::umpernickelPip:::...

If I use the (!N) you won't be able to see a smiley if the have one in their name?

You will see the smiley.

Hmmm, weird all I see is the colored keyboard shorcut, but no emoticon. Just in case I didn't express myself right. I meant emoticon on names on the contact list and in the sign in popup.

You will not see emoticons when you use (!N). Using (!N) requires that you have custom names enabled, and the limitation when it comes to emoticons (and the order of the list) apply as well then.
