I know that this is not exactly what you want, but it is quite... cool!
In a module add
-------------------------------------------------
Sub test_fncCreateCommentIndicator()
fncCreateCommentIndicator vbBlue, "pat"
End Sub
-------------------------------------------------
and in another add
-------------------------------------------------

As it is now it will colour only the comments that keep the default name
given by excel (Application.username)
