Additional requirements :
- None. Installs over any existing 2.0.1 install of [OzzModz] User Name Color as a normal upgrade.

What it does

Members can pick a colour for their own username, and admins can define full name styles — colour, weight, letter spacing, text shadows, background images, gradients — that apply automatically based on user criteria. Styled names show up everywhere XenForo renders a username: posts, thread and resource listings, member tooltips, conversation participant lists, "last post by" columns, the forum list's last poster.

Name styles are managed under ACP → Users → RaGEZONE User Name Colours. Each style is a block of CSS plus user criteria. Three permissions control access: Change user name style, Set custom user name color, and Bypass custom color restrictions. There's an option to blacklist specific colours or colour ranges so members can't pick something that clashes with your staff colours.

Why this fork exists

This is the version running in production on RaGEZONE. It's not a patch put out and forgotten — the released zip and the live board are the same build, every fix here came out of something going visibly wrong on a real board, and a release only goes out after it's running there. RaGEZONE is a large, long-running forum with a set of VIP name styles that exercise most of what the add-on can do, including gradient names that broke in ways the simpler styles never surfaced.

This is a maintained fork of Global Name Styling by Liam W, picked up years after the original stopped being maintained. The codebase hadn't been touched in a long time and had accumulated a number of rendering and enforcement bugs, particularly on XenForo 2.3.

It keeps the add-on ID the code has carried through its various hands (ThemeHouse/UserNameColor), so it installs straight over an existing User Name Color 2.0.1 install as an ordinary upgrade — your styles, member colours, options and permissions all carry over, nothing needs migrating. The version ID sits above the version it forked from, so an older release will never offer itself as an update over this one.

What's fixed

• Names keep their colour in thread and resource listings. The generated CSS was a single class and lost on specificity to XenForo's own color: inherit rule for links inside listing rows, so names took the row's colour there while looking correct inside a thread.
• Names no longer turn black in the member tooltip. When a member has a profile banner, core paints a black readability outline over the name. For gradient styles built on background-clip: text, that outline became the entire visible name.
• Colours render everywhere, not just in about half the places. XenForo hands its username renderer a plain array as often as it hands it a user entity — conversation recipient caches, last-post caches, the node list — and all of those previously rendered with no colour at all. The same member could appear styled in one column and plain in the next. Resolving those costs one query per page rather than one per name.
• Name styles replace user group styling instead of layering over it. A group's glow or shadow used to bleed through a member's name style, since a style only overrides the properties it actually declares. There's an option to restore the old layering behaviour if your styles were written to complete group styling rather than replace it.
• The custom colour permission is enforced on save, not just when the form is rendered.
• The ACP sort action no longer 500s on PHP 8, invalid colour input is refused instead of silently saving as black, and disallowed-colour ranges entered with a leading # work correctly instead of quietly blocking nothing.
• Uninstalling cleans up after itself. Every uninstall previously left an orphaned phrase per style behind, permanently.
• Added a Rebuild CSS button on the style list, for when a board arrives with a stale cache after a server move or database restore.

Installation

Upload the contents of upload/ to your XenForo root, then install from the ACP or:

If you already have User Name Color 2.0.1 installed, upload the files the same way and upgrade instead:

The upgrade regenerates the CSS for your existing styles automatically. Hard-refresh afterwards — the compiled CSS is served with a cache-busting query string, so a browser or CDN holding the old URL will keep serving the old stylesheet.
