When I played some different maps (Don't ask me I can't remember which ones), I noticed that a units name seems like it has one color and then another color behind it.
Example:
Say red and then it seems like that light glowing green color is behind it.
I was just wondering if this is even possible or is my computer just messing with my mind. Lol.
None.
You need to report this to a doctor right away!Haha, no, just kidding.
This is the effect of forward/backward Overlap text. It's another 'color' that SCMD and other advanced editors can put on names etc.
None.
http://www.staredit.net/?p=tutorials&tut=66Note that if you get it wrong, the names can end up being very hard to read. Also I know there's a webpage somewhere where you can enter a name and it'll generate the exact string you need to use, and then you can put in the colours you want. But I don't know where that page is, hopefully someone else will post a link to it.
None.
Don't stop till you get enough
It's on Falk's Zone under Web Programs. Here's a link to Falk's Zone: http://sites.google.com/site/falkonercow/Home.html?attredirects=0
It's a buggy site though and you have to download pages as attachments and then view them.
Edit: I just added some of my knowledge to this wiki article. You might find that information valuable.

rofl!!!
Yeah I've used Falks thing its very helpful you just type it in and it auto overlaps it for you. I believe spacebars can f*ck with it though, so you may want to avoid those.
When I tried falks zone I didn't get it. What was all the "@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@" at the end for? Did they mean spaces? It was so long I couln't fit it.
None.
Use the string editor to put in longer names, it helps when using overlap.
None.
I order you to forgive yourself!
An other one that never messed up so far:
