A chat suggestion

[phetish]

I know there are still fixes coming since 3.3.5 dropped but I thought I toss this out there:

Reduce the size of Chat tabs - as it is, I can't get more than 3 tabs to show up and that makes it easy to miss incoming whispers, etc. Reducing the tab names to just 3 characters only reduced the tab size on the General tab - the others remained the same size.

I'm using 5.06.25 at 1280x1024 in case it matters...

I'll keep that in mind. Not sure I'll spend much time on it in nUI5 since it's end-of-life... but I will address it in nUi6.

Just a side note I did notice in my browsing that the blizz code auto sizes the tabs when a new name is given so its quite possible that just renaming it will resize it

while playing at 1280 x 768 the edit box is actually over the chat box! i had to change the chat frame lua file to raise the edit box from

editBox:SetPoint( "TOPLEFT", "ChatFrame"..i, "TOPLEFT", 0, 5 );
editBox:SetPoint( "TOPRIGHT", "ChatFrame"..i, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 5 );

editBox:SetPoint( "TOPLEFT", "ChatFrame"..i, "TOPLEFT", 0, 50 );
editBox:SetPoint( "TOPRIGHT", "ChatFrame"..i, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 50 );

and then it fit between the aura box and the console.

This is a awesome mod all my friends use it and as a beginning lua programmer I am very thankful for the notations you put in the files so I can see what does what.

The chat frame edit box is ALWAYS over the chat frame box, at the top, and always has been since nUI was originally created. I'm surprised at how many people think this is a new behavior since 3.3.5 -- however, if you are running 5.06.26 or newer then the chat edit box has a black background behind it so the background text does not show up behind it when it is open.

I'm also surprised by how many people are bothered by the box being over the text at the top of the chat frame... it's old news.

In any event, I appreciate the kind word and I'm glad you were able to modify it to suit your need.

I know it's always been there but recently the problem was that with the background being clear now it was hard to tell what you typed and what was just text in the chat box...

The background is black, not clear? I think it's been black since about 5.06.24 or so. Are you sure you're using the most recent version of nUI? 5.06.27 at present. Check you chat frame message at login and see what version nUI says it is loading.

what i mean is that the text in the chat box is visable under the edit box when you try to type and yes i'm using the most recent version of nui+
