AIM already has text and text background colors already in AIM, But AIM+ should be able to overwrite the colors. So we can pick in AIM+ a custom colors to type in.
Or in a simple way, Edit AIM to allow us to use cutom colors that they dont originaly allow us to use.
I agree, I had made a hack for this a while back by just enabling the "define custom colors" button on the text background, but never updated it as I installed new versions of AIM. I think this should be an easy thing for big-o to add.
