Improved Color Customization

A long time ago I wrote the first version of the JavaScript color customizer. It is probably the only JavaScript based tool for customizing a livehelp, livesales, or chat widget application. Of course it’s never been as user friendly as it should have been.

I just spent some time hacking around on a new color customizer to make it easier for Hab.la users to customize the colors of the chat widget. Now, every color can be customized. The new Color Customizer.

The current version of the customizer still requires users to paste JavaScript code onto their web-pages. However, in the near future we will integrate the Color Customizer into the new and improved Hab.la Customizer where you can customize most of the text fields in Hab.la without having to edit any JavaScript.

customizing Hab.la

This is a few days old but I thought I should post it here.

Eventually we want to have a fairly substantial API for customizing Hab.la in Javascript. For now I've implemented a couple simple calls to change the default away message. First you can add a link to a custom contact page:

cb.setAwayLink("http://mysite.com/contact.html");

Or you can completely replace the away message:

cb.setOfflineMessage("I've completely replaced the away message!");

OK, not really that exciting. Not sure if we really need two separate calls there either.
