Remember a week or two ago when Hewee posted a site for a free HTML colorizer? Well, I downloaded that from this site:
http://www.theill.com/hfc/
Then somehow someone led me to a thread by Signature who was explaining to Shamrock about how to colorize the VB code that is used in the signature sign-on since you can't use HTML. Signature put the code down that Shamrock needed to use. I copied it to a word doc to study it. Here's the thread:

It's about three quarters of the way down.
I set up the anglin_fool in the colorizer to get the numbers I needed to make the green fade. I copied and pasted the numbers from the HTML code to the VB code and ran a test here. At first it didn't work. I kept getting the FONT=CENTURY with the brackets so I took it out and the /FONT and brackets at the end out. Now I had
Anglin_fool .
How to get the fish? That was tricky. The skull and crossbones is easy.
N But to get the fish took some playing around with the colorizer and the Character Map found under Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map. Never even had a use for that tool, but I put it on 'just in case'. (probably won't use it again!) I found the only fish they had, surprizingly, (he he) and copied it to the colorizer to find out what letter it represented since I went through the whole keyboard looking for that fish. The skull is a capital N, that's easy, the fish on the other hand was a ô.
I took the last line from Signature's post, replaced the SYMBOL font style with WEBDINGS and replaced the § with a ô and that was it.
Copy it from Word and paste it in the signature box! Done!
