New Hide Tabs option

Alright, check out the new Hide Tabs option under the Opacity tab. Should do what you need.

This used to be possible with the Blizzard "lock chat settings" option, which was removed. I have my chat box on the lower right of my screen, and the tabs are always in the way.

The version number actually doesn't have anything to do with the current WoW version, they're just similar right now as that's where nibChatTabs is at

Will upload version 0.3.2 with this bug fixed.

Is there anyway to remove the Additional Filters tab on the combat log completely? Anytime you mouse over the combat log, the filters tab pops up, even if you remove all the filters. Pretty annoying tab imo.
Just uploaded a new addon (nibHideBlackBar) that will do this for you

Re: 3.3.5

Alright, uploaded 0.3.3 which should fix the majority of any problems. There may still be some hidden bugs since the new Chat, BNet and Real ID features are pretty complicated. Also snuck in a new Chat Tab Opacity feature to match 3.3.5's new Chat Tab fading system.

3.3.5

Working on an update for 3.3.5. Due to the number of changes to the chat window it may take some time. Will hopefully have it ready within the day though

Ok, so I just dropped in Prat 3.0 and it works perfectly with nibchattabs, however oddly enough when I dropped in Fane and re-enabled BasicChatMods (of course disabling prat) and that worked perfectly so I don't know if this is of any use as for information but I figured I would let you know of my small experiment.

I noticed this happening too and I am using BasicChatMods so it isn't just a conflict between GChat and this addon I am not sure what causes it but I will disable timestamps for now . Thanks for the great addon and keep up the good work!

I originally tried that to no effect. Seems the trick was relogging after the change. A simple /reload didn't work as that is what I did the first time around. Of course, it was as raid invites were going out, so I didn't really have the time.

If you or the author of gChat could figure out what the issue is it would be great. Timestamps are very useful for those of us who alt tab a lot.
