Hello everyone. It is possible to have a color code in Private Chat? When you Chat with your friend the color of his/her text is different from yours. It is also nice if there is a picture together with the text. Please help.

This should help with setting different colors for the font. Copy and paste it into your custom css in the admin panel, an set the colors to what you want. Adding the picture would definitely require someone with coding skills, if it is possible, but the username, and avatar are at the top of the chat window for each person you are talking with. This works on the Simplicity theme. I have found that some of the other themes may be a little different.

div.ow_dialog_item.odd.history div#dialogMessageWrapper.ow_dialog_in_item p {
    color: yellow;
}
div.ow_dialog_item.even.history div#dialogMessageWrapper.ow_dialog_in_item p {
    color: blue;
}
