Is there a list of the colors that may be used to inhance our type? I know of: red, blue, orange, green, yellow, purple, and gold. How about light or baby blue? :) I checked the FAQ and didn't see anything but may not have known what to look under. :D

How about violet?

The second list is even BETTER!

[zippy-kat]

Quite the purr-fectionist huh, Paul? ;) :D

Thanks for the list!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Our Dad wuntz ta knowe...

:confused:
"Do ALL them lil starrey dotz look differnt to youze guyz??!!" :confused:

Dad sez an awful lotta them look the same to him! :rolleyes:

Course he duzit admit it to ebberbuddie ~
But he'z Red/Green Color :cool: Blind! :(

We havta kinda *squint* ta read summa the posts that use the *odd* colorz!

:D

[Karen]

They all look different to me. Some of the very light colors, like ivory are very difficult to see, especially at "normal" size, but hey, Ivory is supposed to be almost white, anyway!

Cornflower blue is a pretty one ...

[Rottie]

Wow, that was quite a lengthy list, Paul. I didn't know there were that many colors :eek: :)

So, how long did that take you?

[sammi]

Phred, How do you post in color and enlarge at the same time? (also bold etc.) Thanks!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Sammi & Ebberbuddie ~

Here's the steps *I* use to do multiple modifications of text:

1) From the Left Column ~ Select [x]Enhanced Mode under the vB Code Header

2) Then, to the Right in the "Controls" Box ~ select ALL the features you want to modify the text with - Click em off one right after the other. As each is selected, it's opening bracketed code will appear where the cursor is in your text.

The "Line Up" of opening codes can look something like this...

[ B][ I][ U][ SIZE=6][ FONT=century gothic][ COLOR=firebrick]THEN YOU TYPE YOUR TEXT...

Now to CLOSE or end the modifiers - sometimes this gets *tricky*!
TRY using the "Close ALL Tags [X] Clicker at the Far Right of the modifier code box - if it works correctly - it will lay down all the closing codes in brackets in reverse order to how you first activated them... Like this:

your text[ /COLOR][ /FONT][ /SIZE][ /U][ /I][ /B]

Now IF the 'close all tags' clicker does NOT work (nuffin happens!) - you'll need to manually insert the closing codes yourself:

Do it in the REVERSE ORDER that you started the modifiers in = First turned ON is the LAST turned OFF... Bold was first on & Color was last on; so Color is first off & bold is last off.

Then hit the "Preview Reply" clicker to "see" what you've done (or screwed up :mad: ) so that you can correct any :eek: *goofs* :rolleyes:.

You can edit and preview forever till you're happy with the results.

Example: (NOTE! Extra SPACE has been inserted after each forward bracket [ to prevent the system from acting on the codes and let you see them!!

[ B][ I][ U][ SIZE=6][ FONT=century gothic][ COLOR=firebrick]Test Text[ /COLOR][ /FONT][ /SIZE][ /U][ /I][ /B]

Will display like this:

TestText

Thats = to Bold, Italic, Underlined, Size = 6(bigger than 'Huge'), Font = century gothic, and Color = firebrick.

Best advice is to EXPERIMENT and Preview before you hit the "submit Reply box! Have Phunn!

Oh yeah ~ Final CAUTION:
WATCH where the cursor is after each code is selected - the BBS software has the BAD :mad: habit of returning the Cursor to the TOP of the message block every time you select a feature - YOU have to remember to scroll it back down to where you were OR you'll start to overwrite your stuff at the top! Grrrrrr... :mad:!

LOL LOL I was wondering the same thing!!!
Who would have thought we had such a long list of colors to use!! How neat is that??!! :D :D :D
Thanks for the colorful list!;)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

WOW! I'm getting smarter than I thought possible!
See, you can teach an old dog new tricks! :D

[sammi]

Thank you Phred! It WORK'S ...........................[/COLOR]

[Randi]

It sure does! But how do I make each letter a different color? Like Chuck did. Do I put the tag in front of each letter and then the end tag after? Thats a lot of work, so I guess there's a simpler way! :D

[Randi]

SpencerThe Lion! I thought so! Yes, I know a little HTML. So it is a lot of work? When you have done this, can you then save it and use it again? :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Randi,

I don't know anything about HTML, but it seems to me you should be able to do a copy (edit, copy. or ctrl c) then paste (edit, paste. or ctrl v) it to a Word file. Then when you want to use it again, just do the copy from the Word file and paste it to the message. I haven't tried this so I don't know for sure, but it should work and would save you a lot of typing if you want the same thing over and over.

Hope this helps! :)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

WHEE! Just playing. I just found the vB code Enhanced Mode button. :eek:;)

[anna_66]

I know this thread is a couple of weeks old, but, could you tell me if there are anymore front we can use besides, Ariel Times Courier and Century?
Just wondering?! I love learning new things!

[Paul]

   Those are the only safe choices. Users need to have the font on their machine in order for it to work. You could type the name of another font but many people may not see what you see.

      Paul

[Randi]

Testing verdana

Yes, it is possible! You just write it in yourself. ;) But the default typeface is the most legible in my opinion.

This does look like verdana!

[anna_66]

I appreciate you letting me know so soon:) Thanks Again Paul!

[Kfamr]

[SIZE=1][FONT=courier new][COLOR=royalblue]Test?

[Randi]

Kfamr!

You forgot to close the tags! :D

[tatsxxx11]

Hi Randi....That's was the only way I figured out how to do it!! Ugh! The days when I wanted to be extra "colorful: with say, a Parrot Pet of the Day, yikes! It's enough to make your eyes crossssssssssxxxxxsssssssssssss!:D

[gini]

Sandra, I know what you mean, I think I tried to say Happy Spring or something in many colors.......and it took me quite a while to get there. But I was determined I was not that stupid..... but then I had to edit it a few times before I got it right.

That's when I know I am spending too much time on Pet Talk and need to get back to work!!:) :) :) Like right now!!

[AmberLee]

For your information -- this is what you coded would look like with closure codes added:

Test?

[Ila]

You took sometime to do all that. Wow!! Good Job!! You took some time to do all that. Wow!! Good Job !!

[zippy-kat]

*bumping this to the top*

(thanks paul! this list comes in handy!)

[RobiLee]

[B][I][U][SIZE=3][FONT=courier new][COLOR=deeppink]Testing....Hello Everyone!!![COLOR=deeppink][FONT=courier new][SIZE=3][U][I][B]

[RobiLee]

hmmm...that didn't work...what did i do wrong.

[ramanth]

You didn't close the tags Robin. :)

Testing....Hello Everyone!!!

The start tags were right... you want the end tags to look like:

[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/U][/I][/B]

:)

[RobiLee]

Hello Everyone!!!

[RobiLee]

Yay!! Thanks Kimmy!!

[catnapper]

Ya know... I printed out Paul's list and it was FOUR pages long!!!

Wheee! This was fun!!!!

[ramanth]

You're Welcome!

[bluekat]

Wow!:eek: LOL I thought only the colors from the drop down list worked on PT:p That's a long list of colors Paul!

[Uabassoon]

Just testing

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Just thought I'd dig this out of the mothballs and dust it off in case some of the newer members may be interested in seeing the colors we can use. Now isn't that the world's longest sentence? ;) :D

[lizzielou742]

COOL! I'm so glad someone bumped this up! I had no idea!!

I like this one, Dark Orchid. Matches my siggy, don't you think? Now here is my question, what if I want to use this color on every post I make? Can I set a default color? Would that be a problem for anyone?
(...goes off to explore & find out...)

[DJFyrewolf36]

Hey There

Ok That was a wee bit of a pain, but I did it though!!!

I wondered that to...

[Randi]

I guess you can use the colors you like. :) Instead of the name for the color, you just put in the html color code in the tag - like [ color=CC0066] for each color you want.

Here's a color chart to start with: http://www.theodora.com/html_colors.html

There are others: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Network/2397/

.... and here's another one you can play around with: http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html

Change the numbers in the RGB boxes, and you'll see the changes. You can also click on lighten or darken. ;)

[Miss Meow]

I love it when old threads resurface!

[Kfamr]

I actually have this thread bookmarked from a while back and use it often. ;)

[swimma253]

wow! Thanks Paul! I love this color!

[anna_66]

How interesting Randi. I never knew you could do that.

I've also had this bookmarked for ages:)

[Randi]

Yes Anna, it's fun to play around with colors - finding the ones which look good together.

Here's another list of them. Notice if you click on a specific color, you'll get that as a background, and you can see how the other colors look on top of that. ;) One of my favourites is: C71585.

Have fun! :D

[Suki Wingy]

Thank You! he is a total muttie! (well, maybe some ACD, but we just can't tell!) What's with the colors! It worked for me last week, but it isn't now!:confused: :confused: :eek:

[Suki Wingy]

What color is this?It is called lightslateblue, sorry, the colors seem to be making this color="lightslategray" thingand not showing for me on this thread.
lightslategray

lightsteelblue
I love this thread. Maybe I can eventually settle on a color to use all the time. (not!)

[Barbara]

I see this thread the first time- just can't believe it! It gives me so much more colours! I like inventing a different colour scheme for every person and try to either find one that fits with the kitties or with the region where people live or some other idea:)

My hope is that the congrats look different each- but like a family over all;)

[Suki Wingy]
