Global Chat Channel Color Change

I seem to remember a slash command or something of the sort to change the color of any global channel you join as it appears in the chat window. Or was it through some menu I can't seem to find anymore? A little help please!

They way I do it is left-click on the name of the channel within your chat window (it appears in brackets like this: [SampleChannel]) and choose the "Set Color" command.

And once you get the colors you like, use "/chatsave" right away. On any other character use "/chatload" to get the same colors.

Ah...LEFT click -_-

Thanks for that tip...sometimes I forget about the whole clickable links change they did way back.

And thanks for reminding me of chatsave...does it still have that bug where the color randomly reverts upon relogging?

Yes it's left click on a channel or player name to bring up the menus, like "Invite to Team" for someone who just sent a broadcast or message on a global channel.

Right click brings up the menu for the chat pane itself, where you can add or remove channels, join a channel, leave a channel, etc.

If you log into a character that has a different chat set up, yes, the chat colors may change, but just use the /chatload and it will be fixed.

No, but there are three good reasons to use /chatsave anyway.
1) Loading the settings to other existing toons.
2) Loading the settings on new toons.
3) Re-loading the settings if you misclick and bork your chat window (sadly, this happens a lot).
