This was a feature added by LCD a while ago but I don't think it was ever explained on how to pick the colours and such.

Download our colour editor application - http://mirfiles.co.uk/mir2/EditColor.exe

This is a simple tool that lets you view and select from the 255 different colours available

Open your mir2.ini file found within the Chronicles root folder, it will look something like this

Code:
[Options]
FullScreen=0
InterfaceType=1
ScreenMode=2
BitDepth=1
MP3Volume=0
SoundVolume=45
BGSound=1
Sound=1
[Basic Settings]
DropItemsShow=1
SwitchPoisonOrder=0
ShowRevBar=0
[B][Chat Settings]
SystemFColour=255
SystemBColour=56
ShoutFColour=0
ShoutBColour=151
HintFColour=219
HintBColour=255
GuildFColour=69
GuildBColour=255
GroupFColour=241
GroupBColour=255[/B]

This is where you define what colours you want to use for each chat mode, i.e. guild/group/shout etc.

So if I wanted to change group chat to a light purple background with dark blue text (as shown in the above image) I would change the following in the mir2.ini;

Code:
GroupFColour=169
GroupBColour=239

This is an entirely optional feature to use but for me I find it easier to have chat mode colours different as opposed to the standard dark grey/greens used traditionally.

Have fun
