CSS guidelines

xats allows further customization of chat groups and profiles using CSS coding. Before you get started with your customization, read the guidelines below.

Note: xats reserves the right to change these guidelines without notice.

IMPORTANT: Failure to follow these guidelines may result in your chat group being permanently de-listed and having all its media removed, or your xat profile being deleted.

Guidelines

  • The xats logo, links and footer must be visible at 100% opacity at all times, and must not be obstructed or modified in any way.
  • The xats logo should be on a dark background and must be clickable.
  • The chatbox itself and side applications must be accessible.
  • Animations are okay as long as they are not intrusive to the chatting experience.
  • Images or other page content can not overlap the chat.
  • You can change the font or color of the text, but it must remain easily legible.
  • Flashing images should not be used.
