Can the following be done?

Customize skin 100%
Move message input field/submit button below text message box
remove folder icon per line
change username text color and general message color
use vbulletin's word/censor filter
put right side column of active users in chat

Sorry for so many questions, need the perfect solution.

PS: DO NOT USE realchat.com (their support is dead, unhelpful and doesn't work with vb4 at all).

Probably. By someone that knows this type of programming. However, Valter has not marked this as Reusable Code, so any such modifications would have to remain personal and wouldn't be distributed.

This mod serves his needs as it is, and he's always busy so don't expect to see a lot of custom features added to it any time soon.

Can I change the default text color? I deleted incompatible colors from the options, but the default text color is the same as the background. I've poked around, but not found anywhere to change it. Thanks!

Is it possible to open/close chat sessions and archive each individually? In theory, it'd be similar to CoverItLive where individual liveblog/chat sessions are archived for someone to read later.

I assume the only alternative would be to enable/disable the function in between sessions and just copy/paste the results into a forum thread.

Based on reading the mod description and browsing through previous posts, I assume it's not currently possible but thought I would ask anyway.

Not a bad idea. Someone may start working on it around the time vb finally gets around to archiving pruned posts.

I'm willing to pay someone $15 via PayPal if they can make this look exactly like this:



I don't need the sound icon though and 0 borders on the input fields, for a more sleek modern look. Want 100% width, 185px height.

I want to be able to easily modify the css colors as well.
