Custom Lobby and Chat

Postby Swoopjockey » February 5th, 2010, 4:06 pm

Hi, how do I go about customizing the look of the main lobby/login screen? For example, changing the colors and button size. Also, the default room name from "My amazing game" to something else.

The same goes for the in-game chat. I would like to narrow the chat window to 200px and bolden the player names, maybe change the font size and colors, etc.

Thanks!

The Chat and Lobby systems are both completely open, the chat and lobby bundled with the Player.IO games are just examples. You can find all the code for them in the /sample/ folder.

One reason why Player.IO is so awesome!

Open source makes the world a better place. The examples provided can even let you make your own chat or lobby!

Doh!, I was looking through the serverside code. I didn't realize it was localized. Thanks for telling me!
