Skins are basically all saved preferences from a user represented by a (Hex-)string of 32 letters (a..f) and ciphers.

Adding Skins

These are the steps needed to create a skin for Mibbit.

For the Widget

1. Go to Widget-Manager to create/edit your special widget skin
2. Fill username, password in "Create a new chat widget" (and remember them!), click [Create an account]
3. Enter your email address into "My Account" (in case you forget your pw we can send it there)
4. Open the "Prefs" page (the settings id for this account can be found at the bottom of the tab)
5. Optionally click the "Skins" tab and load an external skin through the "Load A Skin ID:" form (from another widget id, the main client still uses a different database)
6. Modify colors and other settings, click [Save and close]. Don't reload the manager.
7. Copy & paste the crated code into your web-page (as iframe or popup)
8. Reload the widget to see the changes

example: http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=42c110f3cbbaea489c0b0e40a40e6e18&... ("simple style").

See also Widget iFrame and URI Creator and Uri parameters for the meanings of the values.

Make sure that if you publish it, not to have any private info in it (like a password in an alias)!

For the full Client

1. Go to https://www.mibbit.com/chat/
2. Create an account or Login (if you have not done so already)
3. Open the "Prefs" page
4. Optionally click the "Skins" tab and load an external skin through the "Load A Skin ID:" form
5. Modify colors and other settings to your liking.
6. Click the "Save and Close" button.

Some settings (like "Auto away ...") require a reload to take effect, others (like ...width) need a "/clear".
