Customizing Message Prefixes

NOTE: This document assumes you know how to modify the Windows Registry. Please do not attempt this unless you are comfortable with the Windows Registry. Please be careful, because we cannot take any responsibility for what you do.

Whenever you send or receive a message, Gox Box displays a short prefix with information about that message. You can change this prefix to anything you want.

On the Registry Editor to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SteamingCoffee.com\GoxBox. Double-click "MessagePrefix" on the right, and enter your new custom prefix using the format codes listed before. (To change how messages are displayed in the log viewer, you will need to add a new string value called "LogPrefix".)

When you are done, press enter to save the information. Gox Box will use the updated prefix for all new messages you send and receive.
