Here's a quick and easy guide to 'embedding' DareNET's WebChat (based on qwebirc) on your own website, allowing your users to easily connect to your channel(s)!

Step 1

Decide on the color scheme you'd like to use.

The webchat client currently allows you to choose from a 360 degree range of hues (using the HSB/HSL encondings of RGB), an illustration of which is shown below. Users can also easily change their hue by using the color slider found within the options menu. However, as a site owner you can use a pre-defined hue for your embedded client, to more closely match your site.

Hue Color Scale:

The hue is specified (using the range 0 to 360) in the URL using the 'hue' parameter. For example: http://webchat.darenet.org/?hue=100

Here are some examples of different hues:
0 - 60 - 100 - 200 - 300

Once you have decided on a hue, write the number for it down. We'll use it a bit later in the code you'll be using on your site.
