bad fonts....... you might be able to read it...... but others.....cant......ask around for legibility ..... matisse and sumdumgoi are  examples of the wrong fonts to use in chat.

got the idea? .........now how to fix.......scroll down to find the way you chat........ and see the tips :) and if you need colors help..... or cant get just the color you want on the fader.... check here ColorSpecifier.html   it has the RGB and hex codes for all colors :) good luck =^..^=

want to use faded text on websites? check cheeta's site for their fader  

YCHAT client......at the bottom of the screen....click on the blender..... and you will get this pop up..... click on add.... move the sliders to make a color......click add...repeat a few times..... like it?  click the button next to blend scheme(... button) and name it....then click okay :) when done

CHEETA CHAT CLIENT.......on the tool bar in chat. .top of the screen....is a paint icon....(small yellow paint palette) click that and the built in fader opens....move the sliders. .to make a color....click add to add the color to your fade....when you have 3-5 colors....click save as button....and name it :)click okay when done :)

YAHELITE CLIENT....click the rainbow button on the tool bar...and the fader pops up... type in the name of the fade (if you put chat id..that fade will auto load on that id)  again..move the sliders and make colors....click add... here you can move colors up and down in the fade or chose funky or chunky options. click apply. then add when done

JAVA CHAT...... click the color square above the chat line.....on the pop up....either select a different color.....

or click the use custom colors option....then move mouse around the color wheel. and when you have a color....click add....and keep the tips noted above in mind :)

a few tips........

use a font between 10 and 14 in size....... and ask others if its too small or too large. my favorite font is too small to read at 12....... too large at 14.... be kind to fellow chatters :)

use a font that's readable. sumdumgoi looks cool as a font....... but is unreadable in chat.

use underline carefully. it often renders your text unreadable. so can the italics. and so can bold.

and colors!! what looks orange to you....maybe yellow on other screens. careful of using too light a custom color. stay away from high or fluorescent colors as well as white or gray text......see below

and fades!!!  the best fades have 3 to 5 colors.  the alternate colors.... a definite no no.

Yes I know your font and fade are your way of showing your personality in chat :) but don't stand out for bad choices :) besides....no one can talk to you if they cant read what your posting :)

also...alternating colors limits the amount you can post. sometimes to just a few words. same goes for too many colors in a fade, or the chunky or funky option in yahelite
