Add colour to your messages in MXit 5.4!

For those of you who don’t know as yet, MXit version 5.4 is now out. Among a host of new features (including a major face-lift), is the ability to format your messages. This means you can make text bold, italic, underlined,  or a combination of all.

But, what isn’t yet on any of the text menus, is the ability to colourize your text. However, this can be done by simply using this code (often used in HTML markup).

For the colour RED, I would enter the code #FF0000. So, to make the text “Hello” print in red, I would type #FF0000Hello, and it would output as Hello.

Right, remember this: the order of the colours is Red, Green, Blue (RGB). So, the first two sets of numbers following the “#” sign are RED, the seond pair GREEN and the last pair BLUE.

You must enter “00″ (zero-zero) where that colour value is null (or there is no colour in that segment). For example, #00FF00 means that RED has not value, GREEN is at the highest value (“FF”) and BLUE is at no value. Therefore, FF means that the colour has the most value.

Using this, you can make a whole load of colours, simply by playing around with putting numbers in the colour spaces (#00 00 00) and the letters A to F.

Remember, that for this to work, you must enter ALL six digits (so if there is not value in a particular colour, enter “00″).

Enjoy adding colour to your MXit conversations!
