On my aim profile it only lets me use the font i type with. and the ugly colors. i see all these people with cute fades and stuff. but when i try to put a fade in my profile it just says the stuff in black and in the font i use. it really looks ugly. i was wondering how i can change the font and colors. and how i can get fades in my profile. i tried applesauce or what ever its called but i dont get how to use it. if anyone can explain to me more how to use it or give me something else that i can download and is easy to use i would greatly appreciate it. thank you in advance

1)
2)Click on the second link down (iconcave.com)
3)At the top of the page it will automatially say something like: "Downloading... If does not download in 5 seconds click here."
4)Wait for it to download and if it doesn't, click where it says "here." and that will work.
5)Once you go to applesauce (the icon is a folder with a hammer) pick the font color that you want. And pick the backround color too if you want one. Click "Update AIM" and walah! That should definately work. If it doesn't, feel free to AIM me at queenjamadala and I'll make you something cute for your profile using Applesauce.

www.coloryourprofyle.com
that site has codes, font codes, font colors, etc etc. it's helpful. now applesauce is kind've confusing & i know of a manual way you can get new colors.
Step 1: find the color code you want by going to www.coloryourprofyle.com er go to google & type in 'color codes'. you can either pick out a text color er find a text color & a background color, whatever you want.
Step 2: once you got the codes, it should be something like CCBBFF er something(that's juss an example) then then go to MY AIM, SAVE BLIST, & a box should come up with a bunch of check marks. here's the tricky part, ONLY CHECK THE BOX THAT SAYS- TEXT COMP. & VIEW SETTINGS. THE OTHERS SHOULD BE UNCHECKED & name it something like 'text color' er 'bg color' whatever you want.
Step 3: then after that go to notepad. if you don't have notepad it'll probably be difficult, but you can try word. i suggest notepad though. most computers have it under START, ALL PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, then notepad.
open up a blank notepad & then go to MY AIM, LOAD BLIST & pick whatever you named it. drag that onto notepad & fill in the code where it says bg & text & then 'save as' whatever you want.
Step 4: after that, go to PREF & then FONT & it should be there.
Step 5: click 'okay' & you should be set
Step 6: all you have to do after that is use that in your profile by www.coloryourprofyle.com. the best way is to do it in a regular blank AIM box & then copying & pasting that in your profile.
if anything is confusing juss leave some in my inbox.
