Multi bg

A few years ago specifically in 2016 I made this proposal and well with all the changes we are having I would like to propose again.
This function would basically involve adding more extra bg's for chat, obviously it should work for both outer and inner.
Here is a small sample to see if this concept can be applied to the community.

At that time I suggested it as power but this time as an added function

My opinion is the same as before.

 

This is something very simple to do, especially now with HTML5, a lot of things can be done such as multiple page backgrounds, or even gifs.

 

Note that I'm talking about the chatbox background, not the page background. Do not confuse. (It's cool as it's now - using xatframes aka iframes).

 

I did something like this for Flash some time ago:

And even converted it to HTML5:

But, it's not the same thing, in my opinion the system should work on the following rules:

  • Main owners can set 1 - 5 backgrounds.
  • Main owners can define default background.
  • Buttons being displayed outside of the chatbox.
  • When someone clicks one of these buttons, the chat background changes instantly.
  • Backgrounds are separated by #. Same way than PCBACK. E.g url1#url2#url3#url4#url5.

Some ideas for button positions/styles:

1. Buttons should be located on the right side.

2. Buttons shouldn't be located on bottom, left or top.

* Reasons:

  • Top: very limited space between the chat box and navbar.
  • Bottom: it's used to keep showing xat Ad (promotion/power releases)
  • Left: sided apps, then it's not a good place to keep them.

Well, that's all.

 

I hope this will be added in the future.

Obviously it would be good if in the future it is added to have a variety.
Given that many people disagree on some bg, they can have the others as alternatives and thus we would avoid all those kinds of conflicts
