Chat help.

I see alot of ui's where the chat tabs are constantly shown and not mouseover.

How do I do this, Is it a certain chat mod? Or is it done via LUA. If it is lua I no nothing about that and detailed help on that please.

**Note**
I am currently using Phanxchat. If thats any help. I used to have prat, but it was kinda large so I got a smaller one.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you're talking about the tabs across the top of the chat, then no, you can't change that with PhanxChat. If you mean the side buttons, uncheck the "Hide buttons" option.

Also: Apparently, Fane, mentioned in the above post, does this and only this. Looking at the last date of release, though, can give you a heart attack. However, it looks like it still works fine! I don't use it, but there don't seem to be any negative comments for it.

There is also TabAlerts, which does this as well as allowing for specified channels/tabs to flash when active.
