Minecraft Forums

I hate to start a whole new post just for a question, but i couldn't find my answer searching the forum. Is it possible to change the colour of the text you put on signs? I made a new texture for the sign thats mostly black, and I wondered if it were possible to edit it in white text.

Maybe you could by editing the games font?

I tried editing all the letters in default.png, which were already white to begin with, and when i loaded up minecraft all my text was black scribbles :/

Maybe it takes all of the colours in reverse, so if you make the text red, the text is blue.

That sounds like a major possibility. I know some overlay thingies require that in MC.

well there are two default. pictures JSYN. one is .png, the other should be .gif (i need to crack open minecraft.jar again.

i have successfully changed my text to blue

no, i use paint.net

also it seems to hate lighter colors besides white. i have gotten a dark red to work too

edit: changing the .gif doesn't seem to have any effect on the menu text.

some picks as proof

Alright thanks all (: I should be able to get things working soon
