[Messenger] Font Dialog is outdated

Submitted by Ismawell on March 29, 2009 to Legacy

The font dialog is outdated, especially for choosing font color. It's amazing that we can only choose 15 colors (White color is in the list - total 16 colors- and it's stupid because you can't write with white color !)

Update font dialog, and let us to choose our custom font color !

White is there for dark backgrounds. but backgrounds came in 6.0 and white was there before 6.0 so go figure.

Messenger plus does this quite well. Time for microsoft to step it up and quit playing around

If I remember clearly, there are actually two versions of the Font dialog and neither of them are correct.

I do like white, I agree with one, but I like using it for hidden messages (have to highlight to see)

@Ninja90 - have you ever wrote a message in windings and asked them to copy and paste it in their own chat window? It shows what was wrote in windings in their own font when they paste it. Pretty good tbh.
Sorry for that random comment btw lol.
