Couldn't you just do that step by using the option which is in General Options about a copyright text.

You can indeed but i also try and help peple to edit coding :) I also always use common temps to do copyright so it doesnt appear on all styles. :)

Someone beat you to it.

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=371904

But his doesn't include most that yours does. Maybe they should be merged.
