O.P. Huh?  colored Contact names
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 :)

that's way too messy!

A suggestion to TylerG is to use the (!N) tag after the colored custom name. It make your contact list really awesome.

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

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!
