    Re: Customizing Cute Chat

    Helen,

     
    The Cute Chat is totally customizable.
     
    For example:
     
    To change the logo:
     
    You need to modify the following LogoUrl property in your web.config:
     
    LogoUrl="images/logo.gif"
     
    To change the top banner:
     
    You need to modify the advertising/Topads.ascx file.
     
    Right now it only contains the following code:
     
    <%@ Control Language="c#" %>

    <img src="images/cutechat_banner.jpg" border="0" alt="" />
     
    Hope it helps.
     
    Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Re: Customizing Cute Chat

    Helen,

     
    The last answer is quite long. So I answer your second question here:
     
    >>. How to change the background.
     
    Please open the chat.css file. You can find it at ~/cutechat folder.
     
    You can find the following class.
     

    body.chatroom

    {

    }
     
    To set the background color:
     

    body.chatroom

    {

        background-color: yellow
    }
     
    Hope it helps.
