Changing the background color of the AVChat software in HTML pages

Prerequisites:

  • AVChat 1.3 or AVChat 2 or AVConference installed on your web site
AVChat connection type drop down box

Introduction

You can change the background color of all AVChat software, to better fit with the design of the background.

How to do it

The background color of the AVChat software is defined in the HMTL webpage that embeds it. By default AVChat 1.3, 2.0 and AVConference ship with 2 html pages: index.html (for the user interface) and admin.html (for the admin/moderator interface).

In order to change the color of the user interface for example we will need to open index.html in a text editor and edit the code below:

<param name="bgcolor" value="#1e4671" />

and the code below:

bgcolor="#1e4671"

and change the value of the bgcolor variable to the correct hexadecimal value of the color you want, in both code portions above.

End result

Here is an end result example:

<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />

and:

bgcolor="#000000"

#000000 is the hexadecimal value for black.

Done

Now, do not forget to save and upload the modified index.html to your web site, and refresh.

The same procedure applies to admin.html

Further notes

For a list of colors and their hexadecimal values you can go to this web page.

If you are in need of a good text editor we recommend Notepad2 which is freeware.

Internet Explorer uses an Active X control to show flash content. Firefox, Safari, Opera and the rest of the browsers use a plugin. This is the reason why you need to change the value of the background color in 2 places. One for IE, the other one for the other browsers.

The version of your AVChat software is shown on line 2 of your php/asp configuration file.
