ChatIcons adds item, spell, player class, and achievement icons to the chat frames next to player, item and spell links.

FAQ

Q: Why is the vertical alignment in the chatframes not exactly like it is in the example text?
A: I dunno. Just play with it until you find something you like.

Q: Sometimes it makes the fonts in my chat frame go all funny looking. What's up with that?
A: This is actually a Blizzard bug with embedded textures so all I can do is wait. The issue seems to be different depending on the font you use in your chat frame. I use a font other than the default in my own UI, and I don't have this issue. So you may want to try using a font addon to change the chat font if you have this issue (and it bothers you a lot).

Q: Why don't class icons appear in global channels and whispers?
A: ChatIcons only adds player icons to Party, Raid and Guild messages because the player's class is only reliably available in those contexts. I do not want to have inconsistent behavior in global channels and whispers when ChatIcons can place icons for the players it has seen and not for others. I also do not want to resort to hijacking Who queries to find out the class of people it doesn't know. Nor do I want to be keeping a record of what class everyone on the server plays.

This new version is not working. I can see Chaticons in my addon list in the char screen. But not in the Game Menu / Addons tab.

One thing, I'm not sure if it is/is not possible is putting icons associated with money loot like they are when you sell things to the vendor, i.e.:

1 gold, 10 silver into 1 [GOLD ICON] 10 [SILVER ICON]

But again, great addon that I'll always have in my arsenal!
I have been wanting to add that very feature, but I can't come up with a clean way to do it that doesn't guess wrong more often than I'm comfortable.

and then use SetTexCoord to change the offset to the race or class within that image...

Proximo does something similar:

thanks for the great addon.
You can't SetTexCoord on textures embedded in fontstrings.

Do you think it is possible to mask the textures used, to make black parts transparent? Various non-square (especially round) item icons have a black background, which looks really fugly in the chat, small and against a shifting background color.
Sorry, that's not possible. Even if we had access to the texture objects themselves when embedded into text (which we don't), we don't have the ability to mask textures in WoW.
