Controlling a Chat theme with CSS

  • I was trying to build my own chat with my own design using jetty open source.
    However, this requires a lot of development skills (which i do not have).

    So, i found a chat platform that let you design your own chat via CSS, It is called RumbleTalk
    Now, i want to make my background Gradient, how can i do it?

    #background2
    {
    background-color:#024424;
    -moz-opacity:0.3;
    opacity:0.30;
    filter:alpha(opacity=30);
    border-radius:20px;
    -moz-border-radius:20px;
    }
  • The Google talk app is themed with CSS too :)

    For gradients this is handy to bookmark

  • Tnx, I tried gtalk css as well. But it is very limited with the css options.
    This is what i made with CSS, http://screencast.com/t/sUGDOvzWVd
    (I placed an image as background)

    In addition:
    I cannot use twitter or facebook login with gtalk
    I cannot add images and videos to the chat with gtalk
    I cannot use it on my Samsung Galaxy phone (only partly available in gtalk)
