I don't wanna do that ctrl+k crap everything I type a sentance though... isn't there some setting to permanently set chat colour? Would be kinda stupid if there isn't imo, but I'm new to mirc so meh. Also, is there an addon or something which announcec in chat when I ignore someone, who it is? like: "Me sets ignore for person"? PS: I did search for the colour thing but couldn't see anything that answered my question.

Just click on the text or background you wish to change and select a new color below. But only you will see this change, unlike sending color control codes manually which everyone else sees as well.

It's best to let others decide what color your text should be on their end because more often than not, your colored text will clash with their background and that you can't change. But if you insist... Code: on *:INPUT:#: { var %comchar = / $readini($mircini,text,commandchar),%color = 04 if (($istok(%comchar,$left($1,1),32)) && (!$ctrlenter)) return !msg # $+(,%color,$1-) haltdef } Set %color to whatever color you want your text to be. Paste that code into your script editor (Alt+R).
