A few months ago I wrote a new feature into Etherpad Lite but forgot to promote it, subsequently I keep recieving issues and requests for “how to hide authorship colors”. So here it is, it’s really easy
Just add:
?noColors=true to the end of your Etherpad Lite Pad’s URL IE
http://beta.primarypad.com/p/test?noColors=true
The other options including monospace are documented on the jQuery Etherpad Lite plugin I wrote
