How to configure skin?

123 Flash Chat is skinnable. The skins are stored in the folder: <123FlashChatServer installed directory>/client/skin/

To choose a skin from the available skin collection for all the users in the chat room, 123 Flash Chat admin has three choices:

1. Configure in the admin panel (recommended way)
2. configure client.xml
3. editing html code

1. Configure in the admin panel

Firstly login as admin and enter the admin panel, Basic Settings-> Skin Setting, choose a particular skin and check out the skin thumbnail, once decided, click to submit your choice.

2. Configure client.xml:

If you prefer editing XML rather than configuring it in a visual admin panel, with a text-editing tool like notepad, you can easily configure client.xml in this directory:

<123FlashChatServer installed directory>/server/etc/groups/default/client.xml

Find: <skin value="default"></skin>

Replace the "default" with a specific skin name, save and upload it to the original directory, and restart the chat server to apply the changes.

3 . Edit HTML code

As we stated in the quickstart.html , 123 Flash Chat is added into your webpage with some HTML code like this:

You can see that the “classic�? skin is enabled by default.
Skin setting in HTML code has higher priority than the skin setting in client.xml. ie: once skin is defined in HTML code, the skin setting in client.xml becomes useless.
