Colored Names

Last Update: Jul 28, 2014

This addon is 100% hooks based requiring no source edits to install.

Works with ElkArte: 1.0

Introduction:

Many people like to be different, and this is the second step in the online world to be different: change the color of the display name. At the moment the addon is very basic, it allows a fixed number of elements to be customized: color, background, size, border (style, width, color, border radius), but it already covers most of the needs.

Future development:

  • allow the admin to decide what users can customize,
  • add permissions (if requested)
  • other suggested ideas.
