Chat Box New Look with Apple iPhone style messages

[dave]

Iv'e aded some cool things to spark up the chat box on the main page and the Main Chat Window.

You can change the colours to suit your site. The black background you see is my site and is not part of the chat box. There is some rotation applied in the Main Chat Page so keep an eye out for that. :-)

OK Update- "Glassy Reply's"... "Check out Update 2"

                            " Check Out Update 3 "

Just add to your advanced css Thank you for looking :-)

Check it out , i hope you enjoy :-)

[Andrew Young]

Hey could you send me that sound file as well?

[dave]

Hi Andrew, If your talking about the Camera shutter sound file, i just sent the link, their are thousands of free sound files that you can download and integrate with Chat.. Just do a search for what you would like...I would suggest something that's not to hard on the ears :-)

Have a great week Andrew.

[DTM]

Well, it's cool but some of us don't like Apple anything. Crazy thought, huh?

However, a configurable skin would rule. :D

[dave]

I have been working on various new looks for the chat DMT  :-)
