Lines 29, 45, 66 are handling the font size.

Since my english isnt the best i gonna ask in german^^:

Zork, in früheren Posts steht, dass man die Schrift beliebig ändern kann, auch als statische Angabe. Bei dir ist default NAMEPLATES_FONT. Da ich auch rNAmeplates nutze, geh ich davon aus, dass es ausreichend ist wenn ich da die Schrift setze?

Nameplate font is a Blízzard variable that references the Arial font in your fonts folder. You can replace that by any other font variable or fontpath. Like "Interface\\AddOns\\myFontFolder\\myfont" etc.

how can i give the edit box some alpha and hide the chat tabs?

I should also note that the main chat tab font seems to be dictated by the blizzard menu where you can select 12, 14, 16, or 18. Changing the font in core.lua seems to have no effect. It -does- work for the combat log, edit box, and chat tab labels though.

Unfortunate since 13 point is really optimal for 1650 UIs.


UPDATE:

the bug appears to be that if you select a font size from the UI for the chat frame, the addon will be overrided by that selection, but only for the default chat window, not the combat log, edit box, or tabs (which incidentally do not have options for font size in the UI). once you select a font size in this manner, you CANNOT change it to something else via core.lua.

However I still don't see the scroll-down 'reminder'.
On the screen you can see which button I mean.

I noticed the same issue with the font size. I.e. I set the font size to 8 in .lua and it didn't change for the main window in game. So I added a simple hack to enable handling through the ingame options for more sizes.

Code:
	for i = 1, 24 do
		CHAT_FONT_HEIGHTS[i] = i + 6
	end
Add the above code somewhere inside the file and will give you options for 7 to 30 pt size.

Can you make the edit box not appear when I click it? I always open it when I'm in the middle of a fight, on accident .. really annoying. ><

Does anyone know if it's possible to show the box above the chat bar that lets you do this? I'd like to enable it and make it a black square above the chat talk box.

Re: Re: In game language

Regarding the chat buttons not sure if any of those two is what you are looking for. Open core.lua and adjust those lines
Code:
    local mb = _G['ChatFrameMenuButton']
    if mb then 
      --mb:Hide() 
      --mb:HookScript("OnShow", function(s) s:Hide(); end)
    end
    
    local fmb = _G['FriendsMicroButton']
    if fmb then 
      --fmb:Hide()
      --fmb:HookScript("OnShow", function(s) s:Hide(); end)
    end
Maybe the menu button is what you need. Not sure, I don't need it.
Adding "--" infront of the lines will comment out the lines and buttons will not be hidden.

Space between timestamp and channelnumber

Hey Zork,

how do i add a space " " between timestamps and channelnumbers?

It's kind of confusing when you have something like:

"13:38:522 [Name]: Text"

I'd like to see:

"13:38:52 2 [Name]: Text"

regards

Love the addon. =) Is there any way to hide the border texture around editbox? The one that changes color depending on what channel you're in (Guild/Raid/Say) etc? My thanks, for any/all help~



Edit: Nvm, I figured it out.

Re: hello

If you hack the core.lua yes you can. Look out for "ChatFrameMenuButton" and "FriendsMicroButton".

Hey great stuff, love this so much. I'd like to know if possible how I can have the chat tabs text (general, combat log etc.) fully faded/hidden and then have them show when I click the chat window and then fade back out.

Errr...well you could set the alpha of not active chat tabs to 0. But I do not recommend this.

Open "fading.lua" and remove lines:

7, 51-63, 68, 74

then change the values of the following lines from 1 to 0

17, 19, 21

You can then just fiddle with the values of CHAT_TAB_HIDE_DELAY and CHAT_TAB_SHOW_DELAY to how fast / slow you want the tab headers to appear and disappear (values are in seconds). That should do it, I think.
