Just finished my chat font editor for halo, no more messing around with hex colors and different resolutions... my program can do it now.
Description:
Edits the ingame halo text, it allows you to edit the color, location, font and other aspects of the text display (even the ones that don't work properly in halo yet). It automatically scales the locations and font sizes for each resolution so you don't need to type in values multiple times, and it features a graphical color and position editor!

Can this app be used to make the font color invisible? or make the size zero to make it go away? I'd like to take screens of multiplayer action, and this would help. Thanks.

Yes, set the alpha value to 0 and the text is fully transparent, if your after good screenshots and vids then you might want to check out my no-hud mod:

Would it be possible to have different colors depending on wheter it's a global message or team-talk? And the same thing when someone get's killed. Let's say red color when an enemy kills someone on my team and blue when someone on my team kills an enemy?
I doubt this can be done, but it's a bit annoying when all the text looks the same.

No, unfortunately halo does not allow this, it treats all window text the same.

Bah, I might as well give you my hudg map to help you, I have hudg pretty much completely mapped, so I'll see about getting that here today for your use.
