Neither ^0 or ^8 work for me, they just make the text white.
If I use ^^0 it makes my name black but with a white '^' in front of it, but I can't find a way to just get everything black.
Thanks in advance

Thanks, but the name changer doesn't work as I'm on MacVolumetricSteve wrote:Rosebud.

I'd assume you looked for that, but it also has link to a name changer which might help.
