Changing Item Title Color Without HTML Code Showing

[BelfortUO]

Hi,

Running Serv UO. Been dinking around trying to change the item color however preserving the actual item name. I know it is possible however tried a couple different things, and being a newbie, plus several hours scouring the forums, I can't find a workable solution. If I need to post all the code, I can. I am guessing it is something with an override.

Can you post your script? Thanks.

Did you use basefont with in the name title?

list.Add(String.Format("<BASEFONT COLOR=#FFA500>{0}<BASEFONT COLOR=#FFFFFF>", this.Name));

This line, I think should look something like this:

list.Add(String.Format("<BASEFONT COLOR=#FFA500>{0}</BASEFONT>", this.Name));

That code yields this:

Well... <center> it. That particular string function, and many others, can take basic HTML to do formatting magic.

I'm more curious how when you ctl+sft is shows the code vs item name
