Chat Frame

[namelessman69]

All I'm really looking for is a slightly larger chat window. I can unlock it and make it bigger but nUI resets it every time I reload or log out of WoW. Is there a way to stop it from resetting the size of the chat panel?

I use BasicChatMods which has worked fine with nUI if that matters.

You can try playing with the layout files and resize the chat frame that way. I've never done it myself so not sure what else may be affected.

Folder : \nUI\Layouts\Default\
File : nUI_Layout_Default_Dashboard.lua

Changing the height in this section I suspect will be what you need to do. Make a note of what it is before you change it and see the result. Depending on how the aura lists operate with the chat frame you may be lucky to only need to change that.

	options = 
	{
		strata   = "BACKGROUND",
		level    = 3,
		scale    = 1,
		height   = 290,
		width    = 585,
		fontsize = 11,
		btn_size = 45,
		btn_gap  = -8,

Worked great. Thanks!

Still have to set the background darker each time I log in so it doesn't show a line through the top but that's much better than resetting the whole thing.

Don't forget to keep a note of the changes though as you will need to repeat it when a new update of nUI is released as at present the changes are hardcoded more than data stored.
