Java Chat Client Skeleton
I need a java chat client skeleton. The applet will use Java Swing / AWT.
The socket / chat code is already complete, all that is needed is a GUI skeleton.
A perfect example of what is desired (but not required) would be something similar to the GUI found at Chat Blazer. <[login to view URL]>
Requirements as follows:
Window 1
Login Info
* Nickname (text box)
* Password
* Login Button
* Status Window (Should have a method which accepts a string param to update the status window)
Window 2
Main
Should be a split pane.
Left pane:
- Upper:
* Options ( image buttons)

- Lower
* Send ( Text box, send button)
Left pane should have a method which can update the Text pane with Colored Text / Images such as emoticons
Should be able to change font / Font Chooser
Should have a popup window or something similar to a color chooser to display / pick emoticon images.
Right pane
Should be a vertical Split Pane
- Upper
* Room Category ( List box)

Each list box in the right pane should have a method which accepts a string param to add / remove items.
Window 3
