Hi Adam, Colours for usernames in chats are hard-coded in Pidgin and won't be picked up from the server: https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main/src/release-2.x.y/pidgin/gtknickcolors.h - for the first 24 colours and https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main/src/release-2.x.y/pidgin/gtkconv.c#lines-10294 - for generating the next 196
https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main/src/release-2.x.y/pidgin/gtkconv.c#lines-173:191 is the algorithm used for turning a nickname into a colour Cheers, Eion On Tue, 2 Jun 2020 at 11:27, Adam Berti <a...@bertigroup.com> wrote: > Hi All!
