They are upgraded users i believe you can have your name appear anyway you want when you pay the site $5 (one time only mind you)

The thread Custom names, who does them? should have all the information you need. It's what I used. Near the bottom of the front page of that thread has the format to use.
You only need to change three parts: Color, #colorofshadow, and desiredfont.
For color, just type in a color, any color.
For #colorofshadow, you need to leave the # mark and then search for a hexidecimal color number that you desire. Really easy to find through Google.
For desiredfont, you may have a hard time finding a lot. I'm currently using Edwardian Script as it's the only one I know of.

It's best to use a text gradient generator for the "blend" effects. I use two separate text gradients that are back and forth for my name and the shadow. The one I use is on tektek though it may take a while to get used to the coding translations for those who don't know anything about coding.

that is the template i used. the part that is numbers and letters after the # sign is the color. first is letter color, second is shadow color. you're name already has colors so i'll assume you know how to get the color codes. just copy and paste that. also, there is a "#" at the beginning of that code, but it doensn't show up iin the comment. hope that helps. (and hope i'm not accidentally giving you broken code)

The pound key also makes everything after it really large in this coding.

Epochalyptik will probably move this to the TappedOut forum shortly. The Q&A is for rules-related questions.
HTML coding is your friend. You also need to be an upgraded user to change the look of your name.
