Name Background

[Kodeking]

I think there should be an item like the glow called the Name Background that you can buy in the shop. It would but your name in a table cell that you could set the background color of.

It would make your name stand out even more than the glow.
Maybe it could be an "upgrade", where you have to have bought the glow first.

Any thoughts?

I dunno Jason...would take up a mighty bit of room in the active users and online users tables at the bottom...personally I think the glow is OK, if there was an upgrade, I'd say changing the font color of the username...or maybe underline the name or...make the user title glow?...but if they did come out with the table I'd buy it =P.

Didn't think about the user list thing, but it would just be a box the size of the text, so it wouldnt really change much. I'll post an example.

EDIT

Look at the usernames of the first two posts:

I think the glow is more than enough to be honest.

A small table with a random colour of user's choice is a little to much. It seems a bit messy aswell, just imagine scrolling down and everybody having a different colour behind their name.

Also, I'm not sure if this would even be possible to code. As far as I know, it wouldn't because you'd need to go right through all the coding again, and yes, I think you'd have to take the likes of 'members online list' and such into consideration for this.

wouldnt be that hard to code, just use conditonals in the post bit template of vB.

Correct Brian. It would take one line of code to be changed per section type (postbit and usersonline x 2 probably)

You could also just have a border around the name
