Thread: Text color on signs
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=architect&message.id=46317
I find that I can't use my backslash key in-game (perhaps because of UK keyboard settings?)... so I have to use the notepad out of the game.
Here are instructions in a 'For Dummies' style, took ages before I found something like this!
Your /notepad is usually located (outside the game) at C:\Program Files\StarWarsGalaxies\Your Login Name\notes.txt - open with Windows Notepad or some other vanilla text editor.
Then put something like this in:
.\#FF0000\I'm red!\#FFFFFF\
You won't see the '\#FF0000\' when you open the /notepad in game, rather you'll just see the phrase "I'm red!"... in red. The other characters are still there, though, just hidden - hence the fullstop, which gives you something to aim for when copying. Move the cursor to the start of the line, right-arrow once just past the fullstop, press Shift+End to select the whole line, then copy using whatever key binding you've set up.
Voila... you can now paste this to wherever it's needed, installation name, item name in the crafting window etc.
