  • Sparkles (Premium): Red, Blue, Green, Purple, Rainbow, Dark white.

Tweak your name’s colours#

Under Colour tweaks, three sliders change how your name looks with any effect:

These sliders are free.

Change the avatar size#

The Size slider under the shapes makes your avatar 50 to 200 % of its normal size. This is the same size the magic wand changes, so it needs Premium to publish.

On phones#

Name effects, colour tweaks, avatar shape and avatar size can all be different on phones. See desktop and phone.
