Low Memory Chat  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 9
by: jaliborc [More]

Low Memory Chat is no longer maintained on WoWInterface. For the latest release, check Curse.


If you are looking for a highly configurable chat mod, LM Chat isn't for you: this is an extremely small add-on, and has no configurable settings.
Help about enabling an disabling features can be found here.


Features
  • Low Memory Usage: less than 1,7 kb (no modules)
  • Hides the up, down and menu chat buttons
  • Chat menu button inside the chat frame, at the upright corner optional module
  • Enables chat scrolling
  • Relocates bottom button to be inside the chat frame, and it only appears when you are scrolling.
  • Shorten and removes channel names (the color should be enough)
  • Makes Yell, Whisper, Party, Raid, Guild and Officer channels sticky optional modules
  • Moves the editbox to the top of the frame optional module
  • Lets you choose between several editbox styles (see the second image)
  • Timestamps optional module
  • Disable Tab Flash optional module
  • Disable Text Fading optional module

Languages
  • English
  • Spanish
  • German (thanks to disiz)
  • French (thanks to oaudry)

Based In
  • Chat Box - Robinson
  • Chat Timestamp - Micah
  • Rage Skin - N00bZXI
  • zChat - Industrial

Version 8
  • Updated for 3.3.5
  • Most bugs fixed. Some might persist.

Version 7.4
  • Fixed a bug causing the module Timestamps to not load

Version 7.3
  • Improved the code of almost every module
  • Added new module: ArrowMode
  • Added new border style: Darkness

Version 7.2
  • Update for 3.2

Version 7.1
  • Fixed a bug causing the chat bottom button to not hide when clicked
  • Custom channels (general, trade,...) can now be set to sticky

Version 7
  • Added editbox styles: blizzard, smooth (classic LM Chat) and borderless for now
  • Significantly improved the code. Didn't tested it yet, but should use a lot less CPU and also a bit less memory
  • Placing the editbox at top of the chart is now an optional module

Version 6.1
  • Update the TOC file, so that WoW and WoWInterface know that it is still working. Nothing changed really.

Version 6
  • Better Module System
  • Now you can choose wich channels you want sticky
  • New Module: relocated menu button
  • New Language: French

Before Version 6
  • No records available

Excellent addon. Thank you very much for creating it and maintaining it

One question:
Is there any way to make whispers sticky?

This addon does not shorten "general" channels, only the standard ones, like "Say", "Party", "Yell", "Raid",... etc

etc.

Thank you
I may add that feature in the future, but that's not one of my priorities.

Wonderful addon overall, though
This add-on does not change any text fonts. There are several stand alone add-ons which do just that. You can also create a "Fonts" folder in your World of Warcraft directory and place there your own fonts.
If you need more help, go to the WoWInterface forums.
