Okay, now I've seen ways to add colors to the drop down menu, but does anyone know if there is a way to add a custom color with a custom name? i.e. Let's say color #506771 shows up on the list, only under the name "My Color," as a lame example.

If anyone knows of a way, or can point me in the right direction, your help is much appreciated. If there isn't a way, then thanks for replying to tell me. XD

1) Go to the admin CP --> Board Wrappers

2) Cut and paste the javascript above into your FOOTER

3) modify the bold part in the code above (addColors[n++] = 'teal'). Change 'teal' to whatever color you want to add. You can add more than one color, and they can be RGB hex colors but if you do this the color is going to be named "00CCFF" in your dropdown menu. Here's a list of all the colors you can use that aren't hex:

4) Let me know if it doesn't work :)

5) If none of those colors is the one you want (or similar enough that you're happy), I'm not sure if you can custom name hex ones. I've browsed some topics in the code index but I don't see how to customize the hex name with javascript. Unfortunately a base knowledge of javascript would probably be necessary to do this.

What you can do is go here: http://forum.ifcode.com/index.php? and create an account. Browse the "literally huge invisionfree code index" for code that does what you want, and try to splice it in to the code for the dropdown menu. You can also ask the staff to modify this code for you so that it does what you want, but I've noticed that they tend to ignore most of the code requests. If one of those colors I listed is close to what you want that would be the easiest way to go.

...Good luck! Hope that was helpful... I know coding stuff is hard.

Yeah, that's the code I've seen before for adding colors. I have it stashed away safely if I can't find a way to do what I want to do so at least I have something to work with. I'm just really hoping that somewhere there is a custom naming style to this that can be tracked down (I can almost swear I've heard of one existing, but it could have been something else) because I'd like some colors to show up on the list but not in their "hex" form...and I know those colors don't closely represent any of the named colors...I have this habit of picking "out-of-the-mainstream" shades of colors to use for things. :p

No luck for me so far, but dial up and searching forums for codes don't go so well together. I can get about one thread every minute or two, and with literally hundreds to look through at various sites, it isn't going so well. (ouch)

Unfortunately, I don't actually know Javascript stuff...probably would help alot, eh? It's something I want to learn sometime, but don't have the time to sit and learn about it right now like I'd like to. Though, it'd be just my luck that I go to learn it and start getting bits confused with other coding. XD

Thanks for the response, though! I haven't been to that site you mentioned yet, so I'll have to check it out when I get a little more time to try to go browsing places. All I've searched so far are parts of the IF Skin Zone (and I'm not nearly through their stuff, even).
