Hi all 

Anyone interested in seeing more &/or different colour texts in the chat room should pop here:

http://html-color-codes.com/

And select the colour they fancy from the chart there... Pop the code on the list in this thread.

If each person posting on this thread could copy the codes already asked for by others and then add their choice to the end of the list, it'd be a help.

It will keep it all in one list, so Matt can just get the information from the last post on here, rather than trawling through all the posts.

I've started the ball rolling in the next post with an example... thought it'd be useful to say what the colour is as well, to avoid too much in the way of repetition of colours?

COLOUR       CODE

Lilac              996 6FF

For a bright lad Matt, sometimes .. lol!                                                                                                                                                                             

PS: The background colour of the chatroom is 63659C                                                                                                                                                                             

here's a nice colour wheel... http://makeup-color.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/colo...-wheel.png   Pick colours opposite the background colour of the chatroom (The dark purple of the forums)                                                                                                                                                                             

It was merely an example so's people could see what I meant. I want sky blue pink with purple spots                                                                                                                                                                               

I refer the honorable lady to the post I made earlier   Oi ! thats my colour                                                                                                                                                                                 

  Colour             code purple (ish)      990   0CC   Puds   maroon           #330000    Em                                                                                                                                                                                 

If you figure out how to use the HTML view in the forum box, and set the HEX values correctly, you can use the PREVIEW button to see how it would look in the chat.   Like this    Colour        Code Maroon       330000 White         ffffff Orange       ff6633                                                                                                                                                                             

Hmmmm.... testing testing...                                                                                                                                                                              

Dagnabbit... *curses*                                                                                                                                                                              

Did that not work for you, WB?   (your text has changed colour and font on MY screen!)                                                                                                                                                                             

But my background colour didn't change

I'm pants at HTML Which is a bit of a bummer, considering I'm trying to do my own website now - d'oh!
                                                                                                                                                                             

Ah yeah.....    *note to self - read posts PROPERLY!!!*   Hang on... if noone has read my words above then I think I can still salvage my dignity....   er.... no... the background has TOTALLY changed on my screen too..... *cough*                                                                                                                                                                             

I want ya you to change the background colour,,  i want to be purple..  sulking in the corner now,,,,,                                                                                                                                                                                     

Just type some text and then use the standard buttons for setting the text colour AND the background.   Look, type some text the use the   button to set it's colour. Then use the  button to set it's background.   From here it gets difficult.  Use the   button to switch to HTML mode.  Here you can edit all the hex values if you know what you're doing.   Then either use the  button again to switch back to NORMAL mode (Where you'll see what it looks like)  OR use the  button to PREVIEW your efforts.   Please don't be posting loads of failed attempts to this topic or it'll just be full of junk.  Only post a message when you've succeeded in doing this correctly.   Remember, you can find the HEX code for the background (purple) on the 1st page.   If you can't figure it out - please stop trying lol.   I don't want you messing anything up.
