I love this mod! Do you plan on releasing any other mods? I use Prat, a huge addon, to simply hide the side buttons, edit channel names, and copy URLs. This addon can do it all in 1/300th of the memory!

One suggestion though, can there be a way to prevent the chat tabs from flashing when you get a new message?

Just add something like this to the lua file
Code:
for i = 1, NUM_CHAT_WINDOWS do
	_G["ChatFrame"..i.."TabFlash"]:GetRegions():SetTexture(nil)
	_G["ChatFrame"..i.."Tab"]:GetHighlightTexture():SetTexture(nil)
end
(if there is a similar loop in the file already just add the 2 _G lines into the loop)

Should work.

If you click on my addon portal link (below my name) you'll find a few of the other addons i've released. I'm glad you enjoy this one and many more are on their way.

There is already a segment in this code to prevent the new message tab flashing. Is it still happening for you? I think I might know the issue, i'll add a segment to the code to fix the bug. Thanks for the heads up.

Lol I hadn't used it then, I just liked the idea of it. And the look. And the memory usage. But sadly, with my font choice it doesn't look as nice as your screenshotted one.

^^ Is there a way to get a shadowy effect on the text, rather than the full outline?

Update coming soon with a config segment, including changing your shadow options.

Wtb Timestamp On/Off included in the code, pls

I changed/added around the hook function (line 205)
Code:
local function hook(self, text, ...)
	local tstr = (date("%X").." ")
	if timestamp then
		self:f(tstr..text:gsub(pattern, f), ...)
	else
		self:f(text:gsub(pattern, f), ...)
	end
end
and added this to the top (line 7)
Code:
local timestamp = true
ofc the %X can be changed to something else depending if you want AM/PM or 24h.. and if you want seconds or not. I want 24h+sec so I chose to hardcode %X. you can choose something else if you want.

Love the addon

Could you shorten custom channels aswell? Like ''6. randomchannelname'' becomes just ''6.''. Saves loads of space for me.

I'm loving the new update ^.^

Here we go:
1) With Prat (or the default chat), I could set the background window opacity to lowest and never have the chat box fade in when my mouse moves over it. With bChat, moving my mouse over the chat box will show the darkish box. Any way to remove that?

2) Is there was a way to put the editbox at the bottom of the chat window instead of the top?

3) Where in your code does it determine the length of the editbox? My chat window is a bit resized, so I was wondering if I could make mine span the length of my chat window.

Thanks!

If it isnt much trouble a font size option would be great atleast for me Original sizes are either to small(12) or to big(14). 13 would be great

-- Edit box positioned top (true/false)
local editboxtop = true
The option is there, just set the value to false.
