Ok call me what you will for asking this, but...

I see some awsome colorful, glowy signatures out there in this Tailor thread and I want to know how the heck I make mine! I look in My Profile and just see a blank white box to fill with no color buttons or anything and I think to myself "How the heck did they figure out how to get all the colors, and strokes around the letters, and the lil heart symbols etc."

So, I'll brace myself and ask...

How do you make one of those pretty colorful Master Tailor Signatures?

I don't know how to do it. For mine, I just found one I liked, copied it to notepad and changed the text and colors.

By the way, colors can be found here, http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html

I can try and make one for you if you like. However, it takes me a while as I am not so quick at it as others.

I've always liked yours Akaara and NJ62's, PerilousWish, Aibo220, and ZahrIna just to name a few off hand.

I will look into that link, thanks. I'm just wondering is it HTML? or what? Where do the hearts come from? How to center it?

SORRY, Ignore this Thread! I stumbled onto a HOWTO thread in the BH forum.

Thanks for the two responses but I get it now!

Sure!

This is the link to the post : http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=bounty_hunter&message.id=158610

And this is the opening message. The rest of the thread is people testing theirs and a few errors that some people got and needed help with.

---------------------------------------------------

Ever wonder how other peeps are making those cool sigs?

SIMPLE VERSION:

1). Reply to any existing thread (for example reply to this one). Type whatever you want for your signature in plain text or color/format it the way you want it to look.

2). The click on the Edit as HTML button and copy/paste what appears in the box to your profile-signature box(click on My Profile above).

FILTER VERSION:

1). Same as above.

2). Add "filter: glow" to the sections of your text you want to glow. This is a little more complicated because Lithium wasn't really designed to handle this stuff very well. If you save your profile and it complains about "not allowed to do simple html" youprobably just have a formatting error or some typo. It's misleading.

Here's an example of my signature from the Edit as HTML window:

<CENTER>Alaklain Mephisto ~ Master Bounty Huntress ~ ~ Jedi Initiate ~ "You are beaten. It is useless to resist." </CENTER>

Here's where I learned how to do this:

Important to note: yes, it's the filter: glow statement that will allow you to make your sig fuzzy-outlined, but as mentioned Lithium doesn't parse it correctly, so you have to fool it. I'm not going to go into a long discourse on HTML and CSS filtering, but I'll say this much: the glow filter takes two arguments, color and strength. If all you want is a red glow don't bother telling it anything, a simple TEXT HERE will work fine. If, on the other hand, you want some color other than red you'll have to do the following:

Strength=8); width: 105%">TEXT HERE

The Color=#777777 portion determines the color of the glow, in the same way the colors are determined for text in-game. The Strength=8 portion is supposed to determine how large the glow outline is—it doesn't work with Lithium. The in the code signals a line break to Lithium so that it won't recognize glow() as a function and bawk. The width: 105% portion actually determines the size of the glow, anything 100% or less won't appear (percentages are based on the size of your text and begin their calculation from the "center" of the glowing letter.)

Should have mentioned it in my last post…if you do want a discourse on HTML and CSS, specifically CSS filters, check out WebMonkey. It's a great resource for beginner and expert webmistresses and webmasters.

thanks for the advice, that is the main error that people were getting in the other thread.

I like that WebMonkey site, It listed the special character codes which was something I was curious about.
