OKay I’m not quite sure what you rilly mena by *colors*. I’m assuming font colors, right?

There are many ways of going about doing this. The most common is by simply using an add-on. Most add-ons are not compatible with MSN v5 yet, so stepping down to v4.7 would most likely have to happen. There are a armsfull of v4.7 font tweaking add-ons in the add-ons section of Mess.be.

Another option is by switching over to Trillian. The only downside with Trillian (font-wise), is that you are only restricted to one output font (MS Serif).

Well i dont really want to download anything. I saw something on onw site and here is what it said:

go to windows folder then open REGEDIT.exe then open the key: HKEY_USERSS-1-5-21-1214440339-113007714-1202660629-500SoftwareMicrosoftMessengerService

then go to the “IM color” key and open it… you can then change your font color to whatever you like using HEX…for example: “FF 66 00 00” would be orange.
addition: Windows ME users your key is located.. HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftMessengerService colors… use any hex color code.. the last set of two numbers remains 00

I got to the windows folder (i think, lol) but from there on i’m lost!:confused:

Be careful running Regedit if you’re not computer-savvy.

To run REGEDIT, just go to Start > Run then type REGEDIT.EXE

Obviously navigate through the steps you just ever-so obviously spoon-fed us.

Seeing as you’re copying and pasting all your information from a WackyB article – I reccommend you ask for support in *their* forums regarding *their* material.

Also if you don’t spend too much time hanging out in image editing programs or in web development – here is a (reasonably somewhat) accurate n’ full list of hex color codes.
