That's not true! You can still use the title color change automatically. It's the username change which is manual.
However, there still are some issues people have at times, like if you don't put the # in front of a color hex code it won't work. We're happy to give you a one-time refund on the item if you have any trouble with it the first time.
I've refunded you the price kiwikenobi if you wish to purchase and try again. Be sure to enter either a basic colour name or hex code including the #. Confirm that it is working using the preview, and then submit the page! Please understand that we may not be able to refund you further if you still have trouble.
