New chat system, couple of questions.

Hello. While the issue of chat windows resetting position is already being handled in a different topic, I've still found a few issues/minor things I'd like to change.

First off; sperate whisper windows/RealID 'conversation' windows will have their buttons to the left as well as their editbox shown and unaffected by code which affects normal chat windows.
Also, while you can choose the 'classic style' to use the general edit box for seperate windows, this'll remove the 'sticky' ability it has when you switch to a whisper/RealID conversation window. Has anyone yet found a fix for this?

Second; How can we change the whisper style of RealID friends like we can with regular whispers? For example,

Code:

text = text:gsub("(|Hplayer.*|h) whispers", "From %1")

Doesn't apply to RealID friends.

And last; is there a way to shorten the name of Real ID friends in whispers/conversations? I really don't need to see their full name every time.

--

I've tried changing these, but I can't really find out how. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

read over BNConversations.lua and .xml in the bliz framesXML the info you need is in that.

I'm not really getting any luck with that, sorry.

The thing that bothers me the most is the first issue, though. I tried a few ways to fix it but no success.

CHAT_WHISPER_GET = "From %s:\32"
CHAT_WHISPER_INFORM_GET = "To %s:\32"
CHAT_BN_WHISPER_GET = "From %s:\32"
CHAT_BN_WHISPER_INFORM_GET = "To %s:\32"

Check out Tekkub's UnrealID on his GitHub.
Scratch that. Looks like he took the project down.

Alright thanks, that worked so far. Shame Tekkub took down the project.

Really interested in hiding those buttons for a seperate whisper or conversation, they're bothering me.
