Guide: How to change to color of your username

Introduction:

It seems people have some problems with this, so let me explain! In this guide/faq I'll explain how to change the color of your username and post some helpful links to websites. Anyway, let's get on with the guide.
This guide also works for changing the color of your usertitle!

The guide:

First, you can buy these things in the vBplaza. There are three options which you can change the color off. The color of your username, the shadow and you can add a glow. Prices are listed below:
  • Colored username: 400.0 points, excl tax.
  • Glow username: 750.0 points, excl tax.
  • Shadow color for username: 1200.0 points, excl tax.

Here are some previews on how it will look. (my name is bolded by the way)

Colored username:

Glow username:

Shadow color for username:


Looks pretty neat huh? So now you're probably wondering how can I do this myself? Simple. if you buy one of the above items in the vBplaza you will be transferred to a second screen. It’ll prompt you to insert a color here, sounds simple right? Well yeah, for some colors it is (blue, red and other basic colors), but for the more advanced colors you're going to have to enter the HTML color code. For a chart you can look here:

HTML color codes

After you select your color, just insert it in the box and press "purchase". Presto! You're done!

FAQ:

Q: The glow/shadows won't show up!
A: The effect only works in Internet Explorer, you can see the normal color change in other browsers perfect though.

Links:
HTML color chart.

Please leave suggestions.

You can also just type in colors, but that doesn't always work. Typing in colors works best for simple colors like blue.

Cool. What people do with their user names always help me identify people.

Oh well. One of these days when Dave isn't busy working on other stuff he might make that an option in the user cp to do that stuff again.
