How To Mod The Conversations Theme

The location of the files that need to be modified in order to change the way our conversations look are located here /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html/.

The html folder contains 10 files:

  • 3 files for the SMS theme
MessagingWidgetsChatConversations.css
MessagingWidgetsChatConversations.js
MessagingWidgetsChatConversations.html
  • 3 files for the IM theme

MessagingWidgetsSMSConversations.js
MessagingWidgetsSMSConversations.html
  • 3 files for the Single Message Theme
MessagingWidgetsSingleSMS.css

  • 1 file which contains the image for the user's avatar
