Hey again, everyone. Another question for the knowledgeable (and thankfully, patient) community.

I understand how to change text color using \c[x] and replacing x with a numeral. However, I don't quite understand how to change the shadow color of that text.

I've seen answers involving previous versions of Essentials however, I'm not quite knowledgeable enough in Ruby to look into the Script section and figure out exactly which value to change in the slightly different looking v21.1. I'm terrified of screwing something up, and I'm certain that to many of you this is a simple fix.

Help a solo dev out?

Take a look at the wiki. https://essentialsengine.miraheze.org/wiki/Messages There are a few options in the Text colours section.

But if you want to change the shadow of those colors you set in \c[x] (which will effect everywhere that would use it), you can edit the predefined values for the colors in the MessageConfig script > getSkinColor function. (Just CTRL + SHIFT + F "getSkinColor")

My god... I don't know how tired I must have been when reading the MessageConfig script... The values in the arrays are RGB numbers. I definitely need to get some more sleep. lol.

Thank you so much once again for your help!
