In the ChatAdmin administration console the first section under the Configuration heading (Customize UI) has a setting by which you can specify a style.

 

Exactly what is this supposed to do? I have set the "Customize Skins" value to each of the four values in the example string (Normal,Royale,MacWhite,Indigo). None of these had any effect on the client chat windows.

 

Am I misunderstanding the meaning of this feature?

 

Ideally I would have liked to be able to add a standard .net theme to the application and specify that in the page directives or even in the administration console.

 

I want to be able to specify the default images to use so that administrators don't have to specify an image. Rather, the company logo would display.

 

If I'm not mistaken, asp.net themes would make this possible. I see though that the web app has been developed in Visual Studio 2003.

Related to the VS2003 thing. When I try to open the web app in VS2005 I am prompted to convert the app from VS2003 to VS2005. This is a bit of a bother since I'm afraid of breaking something if I went ahead with the conversion. Subsequently customizing the UI becomes a bit of a chore as I can't make proper use of the dev envrironment.

 

My compay will soon be switching to Visual Studio 2008 which would mean that by then your application's dev environment version will be 2 versions behind.
