Hello I wanted to make a simple chat got everything working I just want to add 1 more thing.

Here is a picture of the chat:

I want "testuser" To be a random color in the player list on the right and in the chat.
I am using Lacewing here is a picture for sending a message:

Here is the script for the second line:

Edittext$( "chat history" )+Self_Name$( "Lacewing" )+": "+Edittext$( "chat box" )+NewLine$

So +Self_Name$( "Lacewing" ) is the users name how can I color it? Is it possible in a script is there like some color code? Or does someone have a solution.
Thanks

I'm not familiar with using Lacewing, but you can set text color in an edit box by using the Text:Set Text Color option.
From there, you can click the Calculation button and enter getRGB(random(256),random(256),random(256))
That will set the text in the edit box to a random color.
I don't know is you can specify a different color for each line or not.

EDIT: Or change the font/size underlined italic bold etc.

I don't think you can just part of a string to a different colour, i'd say its worthy of a suggestion in the bug tracker though as i've tried to do this several times and had to go the route of using another string/editbox etc instead.
