Customizing the appearance of individual ParaChat rooms is accomplished through inserting HTML parameters
into the base applet HTML code (i.e. the applet HTML sample provided in the testroom.html document).
The structure of the ParaChat applet requires certain HTML parameters to be included by default. Optional
HTML parameters are added to the base applet HTML to change the appearance of ParaChat rooms that you create.
If you wish to customize all rooms on the chat server without inserting individual HTML parameters into
the applet HTML for each room, please see the
Server-wide Client Configuration
section of the Documentation.
