And it's great to see you're reconsidering and planning to improve on this awesome work - I should have been clear about that in my first comment... I do think this is an awesome plugin. Can't wait to see the next version, although I appreciate that RL commitments certainly should have preference

Although I've heard some people say that they really dislike this and are afraid it will spiral out of control, I have yet to see the first signs of that. I am well aware that excessive use of Rainbow can be annoying and offensive to people, so imo it's really about using its great features in a low key way. I only use it for two things now: my recruitment message, which is a very elegant and non-obtrusive colour scheme, and a funny message in rainbow colours that I use in Kinship, Fellowship or Raid chat for a laugh sometimes (only when I'm with friends or Kin).

Be aware by the way that I've already been told by someone to stop using it because, as they said, "this plugin is getting banned". I asked them where they got that info and they told me that several people on Laurelin [EN-RP] had told him that. So there are rumours hehe. I actually filed a GM ticket about that and stopped recruiting for a while until GM got back to me - when he did, he assured me that Rainbow is NOT on any list of offenses. Doesn't mean it'll never be, but for now everyone's just fine using it

Lastly, a couple things I hope you'll consider if and when you do get into making an updated version... First, I found the UI confusing. I don't mind having to completely redo a created message if you click a wrong button once. That's something that's an annoyance but you get used to it. If it's easily fixed then I'd suggest to do so, but if not then don't worry about it. What I still don't get though are some of the buttons... I've tried all kinds of ways, but the button Replace doesn't seem to do anything for me (also, despite the notes, I *can't* select text at all in the preview box). Clear does clear out the text in the bottom box, but doesn't remove it from 'memory', so you can still send whatever message you last created. Again: minor issue, but would be more intuitive imho if it did completely clear. And last... if at all possible, I'd LOVE to be able to 'recall' a saved message. For instance: the recruitment message I created - I may want to start using that on another channel some time. As it stands, I have to manually recreate it. Would be awesome to just 'recall' the saved quickslot into the text/preview box, assign a different channel, then assign the whole thing to a new quickslot!

Thanks again, keep up the good work

Oh and also... quickslots aren't saved for me. When I log off and back on, the slots themselves are still there but they're empty

[EDIT] For some reason the quickslots appeared for me now, and they're correctly displaying their info. It does strike me as odd (and cumbersome) that a quickslot not only has the coloured text in it but also the channel you want to send it to. So if I, for instance, want to post a colourful recruitment message in OOC and LFF in certain areas, I'd have to recreate the same message twice, once for each channel. A simple insert into whatever channel you currently have open would have been better imho.
