Customizing:

Custom BBCode Icons: You can give your custom BBCodes icons by simply adding a GIF image named after your BBCode (e.g.: center.gif) to the images/icons directory. There are tons of extra BBCode icons included in the contrib directory.
BBCode Toolbar: You can change the look of the BBCode toolbar using any of the extra toolbar background images located in the contrib directory. Just copy one of the alternative toolbar images to styles/all/theme/images/abbc3_bg.gif (and refresh your browser).
NOTE: When making any of these customizations to ABBC3, be sure to note/backup your changes, as you may need to reproduce them after updating this extension, in case any of your added image files is overwritten or erased.
