I had this feeling that might be the case, but...it didn't hurt anyone to ask!

Thanks Nib!

Another one of those "would have to rewrite the Blizzard chat frame entirely" things

First off, great addon, been using it for a while.

I was curious, would it be possible to change the justification (right, left, or center) of the chat tabs themselves?

What I'd ultimately like to achieve is have a pulled out chat frame with the tab on the far right of the frame. I honestly haven't any idea if that can be done, or if it would be a royal pain.

Anyway, thanks for making this addon, terrific job!

I'll get to adding some options to change just how much of the chat tab to hide.

I just can advice you some ideas to make it better and hope to see them in your addon =) ideas - 1) Enlarge X Y move ability . 2) Make settings for each chat tab player have. 3) Moving buttons like scroll down and menu ( probably re skin them or text variant ) 4) Change Background lighting color when pressing or mouse over tab . I hope to see something of this ideas in your addon =)

The addon is really just made to skin them. Though you can currently rename tabs by right-clicking them

Cheers m8
