User Interface - Configuration
There are two configuration steps necessary to adapt the userinterface to the single users' individual needs: the applet tags of the userinterface have to be set properly, and the users' preferences have to be specified.

This section is on how to assign useful values to the applet tags, which has to be done by the system admin installing CoBrow on a Web site. Information on how a user may provide CoBrow with his personal preferences may be read in the user manual.

The current version of the plain userinterface, version 3.0.0a, supports the subsequently listed applet tags:
 
 

name
 		 default value
 		 meaning
 
cbServerAddress This tag MUST be provided. The address of the Vicinity Evaluator; MUST be the address of the server the applet comes from!
cbServerPort This tag MUST be provided. The port of the CoBrow service.
ChatSoundFile null (no notification on incoming chat lines) The filename (NOT a whole URL) of an audiofile. Java usually supports only *.au-files using designated sampling rates!
controlsBackgroundColor 0 (black, 0x000000) The color of the upper part of the plain userinterface; an integer number representing a 24-Bit color (red, green, blue: eight Bits each).
ExternalConfigUrl null (no icon service installed) A complete URL pointing to the icon-page of the server (see Vicinity Evaluator documentation).
usersBackgroundColor 12632256 (medium gray, 0xCCCCCC) The color of the lower part of the plain userinterface; an integer number representing a 24-Bit color (red, green, blue: eight Bits each).

Values in HTML-style
Language EN Language of strings (EN or DE)
EnableShareUrl disabled (applet parameter not present) Enable with value "true". Controls shared URL input avaiability in chat dialog, disable by removing applet parameter.

All these tags have to be inserted into the "cbUI2.html" file by the system administrator. If one or more tags are missing, the userinterface uses the default values as listed above.
