Skins

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 http://mibbit.com (for your special widget skin)
2. Register as, e.g., "skinMyName" (remember your pw!)
3. Open the "Prefs" page
4. Optionally load an external skin through the "Load A Skin" button near the "Save and Close" button.
5. Modify colors and other settings
6. Copy the id (2nd line, which follows "id=") and click [Save and close]
7. Use the id (from the "Prefs" page) for your own skin in the widget's uri "&settings=" or in the Widget-Creator

example: http://embed.mibbit.com/?settings=c76462e5055bace06e32d325963b39f2&... ("grayish style") 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 (for daily use)
2. Register or login (if you have not done so already)
3. Open the "Prefs" page
4. Optionally load an external skin through the "Load A Skin" button near the "Save and Close" button.
5. Modify colors and other settings to your liking.
6. Click the "Save and Close" button.

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