|||||<nickname3>: <

this is what i seem to get though .. 
|||||<nickname>:
|||||||||<nickname2>:
|||<nickname3>:

anyone help me out pls ? thanks in advance.

What I believe your looking for is $wrap. Have you tried the help file yet? I'm not 100% sure if it has it in there or not.

and you also need a font that aligns itself like courier new or lucida console.

To X-Fusion -

i dont need the wrap command cos all that would do would be to align all the text that people have said

this is an example of how i would like my theme .. 

|||||<$nick1>: 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

but how do i get all the nicks to align like so .. ?

To Dave/GateKeeper

i am using lucidia sans and still the same thing..

he wants something like:

..........................X-Fusion: Try this

..............The GateKeeper: Nah, do this. By the way, get Guardog.

......................0bscuridad: I have tryed to do this before.

or something like this:

X-Fusion...................: Try this

The GateKeeper.......: Nah, do this. By the way, get Guardog.

0bscuridad...............: I have tryed to do this before.

( dots are spaces )

but look u may use a font that all letters aling like Fixedsys, Lucida Console, or courier new.

set an specified lengt to the line so u may know how many spaces u want to add

in here i chosed 20

on *:TEXT:*:#:{

echo $chan $str($chr(160),$calc(20 - $len($yourdecodealias($nick))) $+ $yourdecodealias($nick) $+ $chr(58) $1-

}

This will make an echo to your script with the number of spaces needed to complete 40 caracters added with the $len of the decoded nickname,

doesnt matter what nickname it is it will make a 20 character line with nickname and $chr(58) so the text follows the :

Ej.

decoded nick $len = 14

number of spaces needed to get 20 = 6

$str($chr(160),6) $+ Decodenickname $+ $chr(58)

Aligned fonts

......Decodenickname:

............deconick:

...............dnick:

Courier New

......Decodenickname:

............deconick:

...............dnick:

Lucida Console

......Decodenickname:

............deconick:

...............dnick:

Fixedsys

( lol i had never tryed this but it will work, i'll probably make my theme this way )

( dots are spaces )

on ^*:TEXT:*:#:{
 if ($nick isowner $chan) { echo $chan 4,0 $+ $str($chr(160),$calc(20 - $len($msn.decode($nick)))) $+ $msn.decode($nick) $chr(124) $+ 1 $+ $chr(187) $+ +q $+ $chr(171) $+ 4 $+ $chr(124) $+ $chr(58) $msn.decode($1-)  | halt }
 if ($nick isop $chan) { echo $chan 4,0 $+ $str($chr(160),$calc(20 - $len($msn.decode($nick)))) $+ $msn.decode($nick) $chr(124) $+ 1 $+ $chr(187) $+ +o $+ $chr(171) $+ 4 $+ $chr(124) $+ $chr(58) $msn.decode($1-)  | halt }
 else { echo $chan 4,0 $+ $str($chr(160),$calc(20 - $len($msn.decode($nick)))) $+ $msn.decode($nick) $chr(124) $+ 1 $+ $chr(187) $+ +v $+ $chr(171) $+ 4 $+ $chr(124) $+ $chr(58) $msn.decode($1-)  | halt }
}

Use one of these font types: Lucida Console, Lucida Sans Typewriter, Fixedsys, Courier New.

Fixedsys is the ugliest font known to man lol

but yeah i might try this idea

PLEASE NOT FIXEDSYS. =\

This is how it my look like ( my current theme, fugly i know, so save coments that says so )

groups.msn.com/_Secure/0UADvAgEacFBl0lKJ*Q5IYIBSYNrkf20bFU*I8N9ck*5VjBEs9MD1JNCSW5tw3UP1K7fefvrQh5PlJ0us6XSD3SqDPNtQpnEo7INo9l4MHzy6kDu883TsCXSCLRgAcC0Y/newthemeinprogress.PNG

( cant post this picture with the Picture tool, or set the link, cuz it converts some Caracters to their hex value (%20.....)

btw theres a space after the _Secure/ and i cant take it off, when i submit the edited post it automaticly set the space there

Use ImageShack.

Use ImageShack.

and where's that tool at? the Inset Image Tool sets the sapce after the _Secure/ too

Click here

Then go to insert image, use the url, and then click ok.

i cracked it anyway as Fusion well know's lol..

ok wont let me post link or image so just go to this .. http://www.freewebs.com/dt0x/Syn01.png

but this is what it looks like now ..
