Author: Nas Type: New feature Available since: July 26 2009 Latest version: 1.0 Beta 2 Compatible with: 1.1.x, 2.0 RC1.2 Available languages:

UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Please note that this mod is not yet finished. Though it works perfectly fine on a frsh installation of SMF, not all features are added and there are a few bugs.

What does it do?
Username Images replaces all usernames around the forum with an automaticly generated image.
Admins can choose font and size. Members can set their image color them selfs.

How does it work?
Username Images uses the GD module to generate a transparent text image using the settings set by admin, and the color choosen by each member.
The image is used in certain key locations such as board index, message index, posts, profiles and more.

How to use
To use Username Images, download the package from the SMF customization site, and install it via your Package Manger.
Then head over to the settings page* and make sure everything is set as you want it to.
Usernames all around the forum will now be changed to images, and users can select their own personal color through their profile.

* = Settings are located in
Admin > Features & settings (1.1.x)
Admin > Modifications > General (2.0)
