Coloring Chat Bubble Border

Hi all.

When I last played, I had a special '/bind enter "beginchat ' string that, using hex values, colored my text green, my background black, and most importantly, the border of the chat bubble green. The border is not a default option in the game.

After reactivating yesterday, my script started giving me issues. Trying to redo it, now it spits out the border parameter as my text on every enter. It's like it's not accepting it anymore.

Did Cryptic f*** the border command and prevent anyone from using it? Or is there a different code to use now?

IIRC correctly the command was changed to "bordercolor" from just "border" .. a looong time ago.

Actually, I just checked and what I have working for me is <bordercolor #00aa00> in my petsayall chat ( for example ).

TY much, that seems to work, but my macro still seems to be giving me issues.

Do you think it would be possible to post your keybind here?

I'm able to bind enter to bring up the requisite code, but when I do it, my cursor doesn't start blinking in the chat box. I basically have to hit enter, go down, click, and then move the text cursor to the end of the line (it starts at the beginning).

If I try to hit enter, type something without clicking, and hit enter again, I just spit out a blank text in the chat box, but nothing in world.

edit:

Current code:

/bind enter beginchat &lt;color #00FF00&gt;&lt;bgcolor #000000&gt;&lt;bordercolor #00FF00&gt;

Hitting enter inputs code but does not place cursor. Hitting right arrow key puts the cursor at the beginning of the box. Code doesn't seem to care where it is and affects the chat bubble uniformly. So all I need is some way to make sure the cursor gets placed when I hit enter.
