How to Change the Color of an MSN Name

Besides a free e-mail account, MSN offers an instant-messaging service at no charge. With MSN Messenger it is possible to stay in contact with friends and family from anywhere. Adding color to an MSN username will make it stand out. Add some flair and personality to a profile by changing your MSN name's color.

Instructions

1. Download the latest version of Windows Live Messenger. It's free and takes very little time.

2. Download the MSN Plus add-on, an extension of MSN Messenger that allows for customization with different skins and colors. It's possible to change the color of an MSN username without this program, but it's much more time-consuming and difficult.

3. Sign in Windows Live Messenger by entering in your username and password. Click the icon on the far right of the top tool bar that reads, "Start Menu."

4. Highlight "Tools" and click "Options." Click on "Personal" to edit and customize profile information.

5. Click on "Format Codes" next to the space where your username is written. Choose a color and click "Apply" to save the changes.
