was thinking maybe if made the TEXT coloerable for difrent people , like say i have pink and some one else makes theres red we see the difrent colors instead of it all being same color.

i know when i try and read every thing i getl ost in a sea of same color TEXT , and only thing i actuly catch is the IM's cause there difrent color heh *^.^*

So maybe make TEXT mroe colore codable :D

Okay, you're talking about colour-coding chat text, right?

A "texture" is an image applied to a 3D model.

"Text" is words, letters.

It's a good idea, though. I'd like to see a good menu for selecting the different formatting options... "colour only the name of the speaker?", "colour all chat text?", "say 'Catherine Omega:' instead of 'You:'?", and so on.

If I misunderstood what you were suggesting and you were actually talking about colouring textures, can you clarify what you mean? I don't understand.

I'd like to see this for text. What would be great is three different options. One to have text plain vanilla like it is now. A second option to show text as colored by the speakers (you see their chat in the color they picked for themselves). And a third option where we can tag other people's text with certain colors to make it easier to pick out stuff in busy places where chat is going a mile a minute.

I wouldn't mind seeing this, as long as its toggable like Chip and Catherine have said.
