Advanced Customization Overview
In addition to the Messenger Express features discussed in Chapter 2 "Customizing General Features," and Chapter 3 "Customizing User Interface Features," many others are fully customizable. However, to take advantage of these features, a much more substantial knowledge of JavaScript is necessary. In addition, migration problems might be encountered, for example, when attempting to reconfigure JavaScript files.
