NeonChat

Version: 3.2

by: mikma [More]

NeonChat does a simple thing:

It colors the chat+editbox border+background to match the active chat you are about to write.

Now it's easier to notice if you are about to talk into a wrong chat!
Prettiness rules OK!

3.2:
* .toc 60000

3.2:
* .toc 50400

3.2:
* GMChatFrame doesn't result an error now.

3.1:
* 4.3 update

3.05:
* Added a slashcommand to toggle chat coloring on/off.

3.04:
* Now uses the border of default Chat EditBox and simply applies a background to it.
* Colors background of the chatframe, too.

3.03:
* Took a try to fix the "Huge" editbox issue with whisper frames

3.02:
* Old style chat editbox is back.
* Now highlights correctly the focused chat frame.

3.01:
* Fixed error with IM mode and custom channels.
* Works with Classic mode.

3.0:
* Complete rewrite for 3.3.5
* Removed options since game colors input now and people still need the chat to be colored :)

2.02:
* ChatEditBox background alpha works again like it should

2.01:
* Spells/Items in ChatFrame1 can now be re-linked if NeonChat -frames are visible

2.0:
* Recode for WoW 3.1 (just cleaned up the code to be nicer :)

1.4:
* top updated to 3.0

1.3.1:
* toc updated to 2.4

1.3:
* Added option to color ChatFrame1 border
* Added slashcommand to toggle the chatborder on/off
* Renamed DB in order to reset old settings

1.2:
* Fixed an error that would pop up if you would have stickychannels on. (ie. You have sticky Trade on and as active channel, exit city and press enter = error)

1.1:
* Added slashcommand, /neonchat (You can now change the alpha of the backdrop and border)
* Added a minor color into chatinput background

1.0:
* Release

Unfortunately bugged in WoW 4.3 (worked fine up to & including 4.2).

v3.05, USEnglish client/server, WoW 4.3 live, no other mods running (except BugSack/BugGrabber/StatBlockCore). Log on and immediately the following are thrown up:

Code:

["message"] = "NeonChat\\NeonChat.lua:34: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'r' (a nil value)\n<in C code>: in function `ChatEdit_UpdateHeader'\nInterface\\FrameXML\\ChatFrame.lua:3671: in function `ChatEdit_ResetChatType':\nInterface\\FrameXML\\ChatFrame.lua:3652: in function `ChatEdit_OnShow':\n<string>:\"*:OnShow\":1: in function <[string \"*:OnShow\"]:1>\n<in C code>: in function `Show'\nInterface\\FrameXML\\ChatFrame.lua:3709: in function `ChatEdit_ActivateChat':\nInterface\\FrameXML\\InterfaceOptionsPanels.lua:980: in function `InterfaceOptionsSocialPanelChatStyle_SetChatStyle':\nInterface\\FrameXML\\InterfaceOptionsPanels.lua:907: in function <Interface\\FrameXML\\InterfaceOptionsPanels.lua:894>:\n",

            ["session"] = 4940,
            ["counter"] = 1,
        }, -- [1000]

This is unfortunately consistent behavior, no matter the mod load.

A quick fix (since apart from this startup error the addon works fine)

Right click -> download and save as NeonChat.lua replacing the original.

Link just leads to http://pastebin.com/GaSXLFE0 which is a text file for the security paranoid.
(not an altogether bad affliction to have).

This link has been deleted from pastebin, could you please add it back and / or submit a patch for NeonChat?

/neonchat does that trick, but on the other hand, the game has builtin editbox coloring (not as nice tho

, so you could just disable the whole addon then.
