Wrong forum. But I'll atleast help you out.

To make your background black: client/script = "<STYLE>BODY {background: black}</STYLE>"

Here's an idea of a OOC verb.

mob
    verb
        OOC()
            var/T = input("What would you like to say to the world?","World Say")as null|text // Asks you what to say, yes, you could use mob/verb/OOC(T as text), but this way is more descriptive.

            if(lentext(T) > 500) // You don't want people spamming your servers, do you? You can change the character limit.
                alert("Your message cannot exceed 500 characters.") // Tells them the message is too long.
                return // Stops the verb, or else the text would go through anyway.

            if(isnull(T)) // If it's blank.
                return // Well, stops it.

            world << "[usr]says:</font> [T]" // Shows the world.


Now for my pointless sentence, I just got back from a movie with my friends.

mob
  verb
    OOC(msg as text)
      if(!msg)return // blank message
      msg = html_encode(msg) // strip html
      if(length(msg) > 500) // if it is longer that 500 chars
        msg = copytext(msg,1,501) // make it 500 chars
      world<<"\icon[src] [src.name] : [msg]" // shoe your icon and message

Try if(!msg) return instead.

It can also be done with the script line.

client/script = "<STYLE>BODY {background: black; color: #999999}</STYLE>"

Read the DM guide! Stop asking for help when its all in there. Figure it out yourself like everyone else.

If you want to get picky:

That would only make it 499 characters, since copytext uses the third argument as the index after the last-copied character. msg = copytext(msg, 1, 501) would copy 500 characters to msg.

If you want to get picky:

I'm not trying to be picky, Killacentral is clearly new and there's a good chance he wouldn't understand why Dark's code isn't working.
