I'm not sure that fits this addon 100%.
I might add it to my other addon though. FloatingFrames.
This addon isn't for moving stuff around =)

great addon.

there is one thing I would not mind seeing.

the ability to hide the scroll arrows, but *not* the Chat Button(the one you need to click to change your language). and perhaps the option to move that button to a different part of the chat window.

or perhaps it is already there, and I just don't know how to get it.

flashing tabs?

ok maybe it has something to do with my setup, but the flashing tabs do not seem to work. i currently have my party, guild, and loot all separated in their own tabs (not whispers because i use WIM.) what im looking for is to have the tabs flash when there's a new message, especially when they are not the active tab. another thing that annoys me, when i lock chat, i lose my tabs completely. before the last patch i was able to achieve this with tenmetsu, fane, and chatter all together, but that hasn't been working for me since. another idea would be to have something that could filter my chat, which if implemented right, i wouldn't even need to tab out my chat window. if anyone can help, please let me know

Re: flashing tabs?

I'll take a look at the "flashing tabs" functionality.
Please explain further what you want to get out of a filter function.
Do you want a single window that grabs text from the other windows if a word is spoken or is it something else you're after ?

Re: Re: flashing tabs?

ideally you would have a set of user defined filter buttons above your chat which would decide what your seeing (guild/party/trade/loot etc), and you could untoggle them and have the appropriate chat be hidden, and when they were toggled again the chat would show up again. you could select any combination of chat you need at any given moment. in order for this to be useful, filtered chat couldn't be lost, just hidden until the respective button is toggled again. this almost has the same functionally as tabs, with the exception of being more customizable. of course if you had your guild chat filtered out, you would still miss something if it were not flashing. honestly i think i prefer having my chat tabbed out the way i do, general/guild/party/loot but it would be nice if the tabs could flash when they have new text (mostly for party and guild) tenmetsu used to do that, but it was extremely buggy, and the fact that when you lock your chat the tabs go away didn't help either. gl with any changed you decide on making, ill be happy to test them

Chat history

I used to really like and use a old old addon that isn't supported anymore (Chatbox), anyhow there is one feature I really liked that I can't find in another addon though I like everything else about this one.

The ability to scroll through chat history (what you've typed) by using the up and down keys when the chat window is active. Would like if this could be added

I'll keep it in mind in future updates =)
New version out btw. That fixes some interface lag due to combatlog etc in the copy frame.
Also reworked the combatlog timestamp.

yes please

Thank you for keeping the mod community going!

My wife and I miss chatbox which had a 'uparrow, retype last typed command'. If you added that, it would be much appreciated.

Re: Re: yes please

I actually have a request to make, although I do apologise if I've missed this feature already being in the mod.

Chat scrollback after x secs being scrolled down. I constantly forget I'm scrolled back and used a mod called TheLowDown to do this seperately but if its not too big a task this would a be a great addition, I think.
