This thread is to test, revise, change, or possibly admire your signatures.
If you wish to see if something displays correctly or works as you have planned, this is the place in which to do that testing.
Please limit all conversation to helping a member achieve a desired effect in a signature, or offering your opinion should they ask for it. All other topics of conversation would more appropriately fit into one of the other forums.

This is how you get your color to be purple,or any color you want for that matter.
Type [*COLOR:PURPLE] [/COLOR]. I am not sure if it is necessary to capitalize the words. This statement should determine whether or not it needs to be capitalized. Edit: All the letters can be lower case should you wish them to be.
Just remove the asterisk and you will be golden (no pun intended ).
I apologize to the membership that I did not find a way to save the old thread about signatures. That had been my intention, but due to some unfamiliarity with this new platform, it was lost in the purge and cannot be retrieved. If anyone has any of that old thread archived somehow, it would be nice to have that posted.
No, I didn't work it out (thanks for the info). The error came about (I guess) due to my trying to make the text Bold after changing the colour / rather than making the text Bold first.
Hello Requote, you can make it bold and change the color at the same time but one tag has to be completely inside the other.
For instance this will be bolded and this will be red and this will be both..
I achieved the latter by doing (without the asterisks): [color:*red][b*]both.[/b][/color]
It could also be achieved with the bolding tags on the outside. The thing about html code (and granted the eve platform uses slightly different code, especially for colors) is that you could have a million tags on one word, they just have to all fit inside one another like those russian dolls. You can't have a piece outside of the larger piece (but in the case of the html it doesn't matter what piece is the outside so long as its closing tag is also the outside).
Can I not use colours in hexcodes, like I could before? Do I have to stick to the colours shown in the palette only?
- much love, light and laughter, ananya.

I do not believe the hexcodes work any longer for most things. This new interface seems to have a slightly different coding language than html.
<color="#00FF00">This line will test if hex codes work. If it is still black, they do not.</color>
::::Edit:::: It appears that html color codes will no longer in fact work. The brackets you see left above are the last iteration I tried (I tried using several different codes to color the text). There might be a way that I did not try but for all intents and purposes it appears that one must use the current code structure of the new system.
[color:magenta]Magenta-testing alternate color names[/color]
If they do not work, as will be indicated above, then you simply use the color code I elaborated on above. Theoretically you could try putting in names of colors not in the palette list and see if they display correctly. This will just take trial and error.

God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white." -- G. K. Chesterton, from "A Piece of Chalk", Tremendous Trifles, 1909

To get your text to be gray, you need to use very specific tags. Normal html code only seems to work for a few basic commands. It might be that gray isn't a supported color as well and that will be determined by this text.
I've determined through trial that the command for gray/grey uses grey as the working form of the word and that gray will not work.
The color commands are: [*color:green]green[/color*](green), [*color:red]red[/color*](red), [*color:blue]etc.[/color*](etc.). Just remove the asterisks and then different colors are a matter of trial and error.
Also, for bold or italics, you simply need to use [*b]message[/b*] or [*i]message[/i*], again without the asterisks.
