Change your chat window background!

[Bioture]

Was in stonerz lounge today and found out you could change the background of your chat window to be a picture of your choice. Heres how you do it:

Get a picture (preferably a wallpaper) and save it as a bitmap (*bmp).

Change that bitmap filename to "chatbg.bm2".

if you have win2k and above, your extensions are hidden by default and you can unhide them by:

Start - Settings - Control Panels - Folder Options
- select the View tab
- UNcheck "hide file extensions for known file types"

put the chatbg.bm2 file into your continuum/graphics/ folder and voila! The next time you alt-tab into chat you'll have a trippy new background!

Thanks to Kontrolz for figuring this out.

ENJOY

Now I just want to mention that Kontrolz took that info from my thread here: http://forums.trenchwars.org/showthread.php?t=15791 and as a matter of fact he's been reading for a while according to the "Active Users" section. B)

The background thing is neat but not really good for chatting.

Has anyone got a link for that program that changes chat colours?

I have had a different chat background for ages, I even told other people how to do it, can't remember who, and send someone my background.
