Chat Channels
Double click a channel to edit it, select a color, then click Apply Color. The chat box will not refresh until a chat message is displayed, or you scroll through the chat history. If you like it, save the changes and they will be restored when you next log in. They are stored in a cookies file within the client's cache folder.
