Font colorize

Hey, i'd like to suggest a feature that is in a pidgin plugin which i find really neat.

It's a font colorizer. It changes your font color to a gradient based on RGB values. you enter 6 values, and you front will be colorized according to the values.

I really really like this feature and is one of the reasons i'm being held back from using digsby as my regular messenger program

These values....



Produce this font color....

It's hardly a Pidgin thing. Yahoo has hade both fade and alt tags for years now where you can either specify a set colours that it eithers fades through or it alternates through with each character. Yet to see any multi protocol client support Yahoo/s fade or alt tags

What do you guys think of this? i really hope it gets implemented. i mean why not? nothing to lose. everything to gain

I think this is a stupid feature. It does not enhance your communication, nor does it enhance Digsby in any way. As a third-party plugin, this would be fine, but to force people to have it, when such a minority will use this novelty, is absurd.
Honestly, how many times do you use this in a regular conversation?

There is no forcing of anybody to use it if they implement it. It's simply there for those who like the idea to enable and use it.
