Display

From TrillWiki

Display boxes are where stuff is displayed - eg in the channel window / message window etc. Their basic format is as below:

<control name="<name>" type="display">
<font source="" type="" size=""/>
<backcolor red="" green="" blue=""/>
</control>

Yes they really are as simple as that

The name="" is an arbitrary name, as with most controls.

The font is as everywhere (see topics for more info).

The backcolor is the normal RGB color code for the background. (2.0+ skins can leave this out for transparency.)

The foreground color (i.e. text color) of this control is controlled by the Colors.ini file or by the user's preferences if they have skin colors disabled.

Note: Things have gotten a whole lot more complex here with Trillian Astra and it's configurable message displays. It's still not too complex, but there's a lot more to this now.
