# Koradhil : I don't really get the point of this. Can't you just use this:
<span class="{USER_MAINGRP}">{USER_NAME}</span>
and in the CSS add a class for each maingroup? You could even use XTemplate IF/ELSE system with USER_LEVEL. We already have everything you need to implement this.

In general, I hate such fancy usernames, its a design killer. They should shoot everyone who even thinks of it. A fontsize+1 is okay, but colors...

@Koradhil,
What your describing is essentially core hacking by modifying the original file. I think it was more of talking about implimenting code to make it happen if the user wanted it. The idea behind usercolors makes it easier to understand. A good example would be if I wrote an article, and someone read it, unless that article states my flag of being a member, they don't know that an administrator, or developer wrote it. I am not talking about a design theory of changing the color from Black to Pink, but maybe a contrasting color which can be defined by the admin to match and aid in the color of the sites scheme.
