I apologise if this has been asked before but I've searched and cannot find it, so here it goes:

Is it possible to make a plugin which tells you the hex code of the colour of your contact's text, which font it is and whether or not it's bold/italic/underlined etc....

For example,

Contact: Hello!
Me: /cfont
And on that command, this would be returned:

• Arial
  Black/#000000
  Italic/Bold

Thanks in advance,


George

Each message sent over Messenger includes the formatting information in the headers I think, so either a proxy or packet sniffer could detect the font etc, but why would you need it?  Why couldn't you just ask them?

Well, if I wanted to re-use their font/colour etc. for, let's say, a website.. I'd have to go through the whole process of explaining why I want their font.. And also, you always get those people who simply won't tell you for one reason or another.. So I thought it'd be a handy plugin to have.. That's my personal opinion though and I'm talking from experience..

An easier way would be to get a program like Colour Explorer, which can tell you the colour of any pixel on screen.

Doesn't tell you the font though, which is the main point in this topic.

Was about to post that...

You did say font/colour though.

It basically tells you what you need to know if you copy an paste it into MS Word... at least it works for me anyway.
