The easiest way to add color is to use ctrl-k and select a number from 1-15. Also you can add background color to the forground text color but selecting 2 numbers (1-15 each) seperated by a comma, after ctrl-k. For example:

<ctrl-k> 7 is orange

<ctrl-k 7,13 is orange on pink

<ctrl> 7,13 This text is orance on a pink background.



I registered; you should too.

In my example above I have the colors reversed. The background color is first then the foreground text color.

Foreground is first, background is second.

you can change your colours locally with Alt-K (colors dialog). Alternatively you can use an ON INPUT script to change your text as you type it. Note that most IRC users *HATE THIS* and will likely get you in lots of trouble, so I wouldn't suggest doing it. If you don't want to listen to me, you can use this:

Code:
ON *:INPUT:#:if (/* !iswm $1- && !$ctrlenter) { .msg # $chr(3) $+ MYCOLORHERE $+ $1- | halt }


Change MYCOLORHERE to your colour but if it's only 1 digit prefix it with a 0 (use 04 not 4) and place it in Alt-R (remotes).
