MemberThis feature is available through Messenger Plus. If you don’t have it, download it from here. Then install in like you normally would. Then, to change your nick names colour, open a window to chat with someone.
Then hold down CRTL K. It will open something that looks like this.
Pick the colour that you want to use. (click on it)
Then it will bring you back to the chat window but with a code. Leave the code the way it is, then type what you want. Once you are finished, copy the whole code, go to tools, options, then paste this code into your name, then press OK. It will then look something like this. I did mine quickly, so yours will look much different. (you will not see the code in the beginning, that was a mistake, and your words will be spaced)
If your friends dont have Plus, all they will see is the code, nothing more.
There is also the option to do this, but Im not sure how to. To have multiple colour fonts in a chat, again use CTRL K, pick your colour, and space it with a comma, then choose your next colour. Once you are done, send it, and you will have multiple coloured font, but again if your friend doesnt have +, they wil only see the codes. (exapmle in last link provided) To send them +, click on the icon that says ‘share’ beside the emiticon icon.
Have fun!March 21, 2003 at 9:46 pm #63899LiL_bLuEbErRy

MemberI know how to change your nickname a different color!!! i got it off another website but oh well lol 😀
Colored nicknames work also with messenger plus, which you can download from here: http://www.msgplus.net the only inconvenience is that it looks a bit silly for your contacts that don’t have the plus extension…
To create a colored nickname follow these steps:
1. Open a conversation window with a contact. You need to create your colored name here, because MP2’s color popup won’t work in the Messenger Options window.2. Type the first character of your new name. Messenger won’t allow the first character to be a color code, so you need something else. If you want the color to start at the beginning of your name, the best first character is a non-breaking space. To make this character, turn on the Num Lock on your keyboard, hold down the Alt key, and type 0160 using the number keypad on the right side of your keyboard.
· Some people use a dot (.) as the first character, which works just as well, but it’s visible in your name.
3. Now type the name. When you want to make colored text, hold down the Ctrl key and press K. A small box full of colors should pop up. Choose the color you want, and it’s code will be added to your name. The text you type after this code will be colored.
· Different text formats can be used too. They are bold (Ctrl+B), italic (Ctrl+T), and underline (Ctrl+U).
· To end a piece of colored or formatted text, insert the reset code with Ctrl+O. All text after it will be the normal style until you use another color/format code.
· To get a background color, use the Ctrl+K feature twice in a row. Choose the text color first, and the background color second. The two codes should look like this…(255,255,255) (000,000,000) or this… 1 0
Now replace the second “” character with a comma, so the codes look like this…
(255,255,255),(000,000,000) or this… 1,0
4. Select everything that you just typed by pressing Ctrl+A, then press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard.
· If you want, you can also use the “Select All” and “Copy” commands by opening the “Edit” menu or by right-clicking the text.
5. Switch to the main Messenger window (contact list), then open the Options by selecting “Options” in the “Tools” menu.6. Delete your old name from the display name box, and paste in the new one by pressing Ctrl+V or by right-clicking the box and selecting “Paste.”
7. Click the “OK” button to change your name. You’re done.
