Could more colors be added to our list of colors i.e. CRIMSON?

You're better off using hex - #DC143C

But that only works if HTML is enabled, correct?

I meant to thank you for sharing the website! Have you ever tried Color Cop?

Are there other ways to use the hex?

Should be red text

I was talking about using colors in the admin area in admin config colors. I don't know of a way to include hex in a forum post.

You have to modify 2 files. Just repeat the added line for any color you want to include.
"inc_func_common.asp"

Code:

Look for the following lines (appx 403-419):

			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""red"">", "</font id=""red"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""green"">", "</font id=""green"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""blue"">", "</font id=""blue"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""white"">", "</font id=""white"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""purple"">", "</font id=""purple"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""yellow"">", "</font id=""yellow"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""violet"">", "</font id=""violet"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""brown"">", "</font id=""brown"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""black"">", "</font id=""black"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""pink"">", "</font id=""pink"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""orange"">", "</font id=""orange"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""gold"">", "</font id=""gold"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "[beige]", "[/beige]", "<font color=""beige"">", "</font id=""beige"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""teal"">", "</font id=""teal"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""navy"">", "</font id=""navy"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""maroon"">", "</font id=""maroon"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""limegreen"">", "</font id=""limegreen"">")

Below those, insert the following:


			fString = doCode(fString, "[crimson]", "[/crimson]", "<font color=""crimson"">", "</font id=""crimson"">")
"inc_post_buttons.asp"

Code:

Look for the following lines (appx 75-88):

		"                	<option style=""color:black"" value=""black"">Black</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:red"" value=""red"">Red</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:yellow"" value=""yellow"">Yellow</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:pink"" value=""pink"">Pink</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:green"" value=""green"">Green</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:orange"" value=""orange"">Orange</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:purple"" value=""purple"">Purple</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:blue"" value=""blue"">Blue</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:beige"" value=""beige"">Beige</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:brown"" value=""brown"">Brown</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:teal"" value=""teal"">Teal</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:navy"" value=""navy"">Navy</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:maroon"" value=""maroon"">Maroon</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:limegreen"" value=""limegreen"">LimeGreen</option>" & vbNewLine & _

Below those, insert the following:


		"                	<option style=""color:crimson"" value=""crimson"">Crimson</option>" & vbNewLine & _

I'm about to begin this add-on with the colors and I have a question, if there's anyone out there.

Okay, when you're in 'reply to topic' and you click on the little drop-down arrow to choose a color. . .is there a way I could make just that small amount of background a different color? Maybe a gray or something that would just make the colors show up a little better? Just the area behind the colors. . .

You could probably do it with a little CSS, but it would be hard to find a colour that doesn't make one or more of the names hard to read. That's one of the problems with putting the colour name in it's colour.

I played around with admin_config_colors.asp the other day and thought I had found a way of doing this, but alas my efforts were in vain! sad


Just a FYI with the image above. Near the bottom of that is actually a graphic I created to make it CLEAR to the members just where they needed to click in order to upload a pic. That's just another reason why it bugs me that I can't figure out how to change the background of the little color drop-down menu! I can usually do this!! (lol)
