Is there a way to allow members of secondary groups access to chat when their primary group has been restricted?

Have any of you end users had any luck changing either the text or background color of the message area?

I'd like to change the background color of the chatbox to a light gray because some of the text colors are hard to see on white, is that possible ?

Just change the respective stylevar of your style(s); alternatively you can change the background color reference in the template (vsa_chatbox). As I wanted to have another stylevar's background value, I made use of option two

Changing colors is a frequent question, so it would really be nice if one of you could make a quick FAQ geared toward beginners (starting with how to open the AdminCP).

This is what I want to do, but I haven't figured out which one it is...

I'm using VB 4.2.0 pl3 and the style is based on the basic Vbulletin blue.

Would it be in here ?

The relevant stylevar is the "editor_background", here's the quote from the template:

Quote:
<div class="blockrow" id="vsacb_messagearea" style="background-color:{vb:stylevar editor_background.backgroundColor} ...

@Videx; maybe Valter could provide
