Lack of interest [COLOR] BbCode Changes

[Jaxel]

Okay, so we all know how the COLOR bbcode works. Generally, you want to allow members to use the color bbcode, but it is often prone to abuse. It also creates an issue where some people post on a "light" skin, and others post on a "dark" skin... Here is an example:



Now, what I've done on my forum is change XenForo_BbCode_Formatter_Base... from:

'color' => array(
    'hasOption' => true,
    'optionRegex' => '/^(rgb\(\s*\d+%?\s*,\s*\d+%?\s*,\s*\d+%?\s*\)|#[a-f0-9]{6}|#[a-f0-9]{3}|[a-z]+)$/i',
    'replace' => array('<span style="color: %s">', '</span>')
),

to:

'color' => array(
    'hasOption' => true,
    'optionRegex' => '/^(rgb\(\s*\d+%?\s*,\s*\d+%?\s*,\s*\d+%?\s*\)|#[a-f0-9]{6}|#[a-f0-9]{3}|[a-z]+)$/i',
    'replace' => array('<span style="text-shadow: 0 0 10px %s">', '</span>')
),

Now people can still personalize their posts with colors, but it still works in multiple skins. I'm suggesting there be an option in XenForo to replace the css of the color bbcode... "color", "text-shadow" or even "background-color".

That effects regular posts too and not just the chatbox. Would be better if it only affected the chatbox.

I know... the recommendation is for the entire forum.

The issues I stated aren't unique to chatboxes; I am just using the chatbox as an example.
