[Request] Hide Background & Border of Chatbox

[Syliha]

Hey there,

I want to hide the border and background for the chatbox you type your text in (mostly on the bottom of your chatbox).

Is this possible? I don't want to have an extra addon for this, just a line or how much you need which i could add to an existing one. (Ok new addon is also possible :P).

Anyone able to help me?

Thanks!

You can replace the textures with blank ones.

Sorry for some necro =)

I have tried this and i found out that i can do it much easier by editing something in the lua of zchat.

Now i got this white border left and do not know how to remove it (: Any suggestions?



Oh and btw zchat code therefore:

 -- edit box appearance
  array = {
    "Left",
    "Right",
    "Mid"
  };
  
  for _, v in ipairs(array) do
    _G["ChatFrame1EditBox" .. v]:Hide();
  end
  
  if editBoxOnTop then
    ChatFrame1EditBox:ClearAllPoints();
    ChatFrame1EditBox:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", ChatFrame1, "TOPLEFT", -2, 2);
    ChatFrame1EditBox:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", ChatFrame1, "TOPRIGHT", 5, 2);
  end

  local box = CreateFrame("Frame", nil);
  box:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", ChatFrame1EditBox, "TOPLEFT", 5, -5);
  box:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", ChatFrame1EditBox, "BOTTOMRIGHT", -5, 4);
  --ChatFrame1EditBox:SetFrameStrata("TOOLTIP");
	box:SetFrameStrata("HIGH");
  
  ChatFrame1EditBox:SetScript("OnShow", function() box:Show(); end);
  ChatFrame1EditBox:SetScript("OnHide", function() box:Hide(); end);

That's another texture from the edit box.

If you go to the link I posted above, you can see all of the various textures.

I am really sorry to waste your time :/ But i think i am just to dumb to find the right graphic there =( Could you please tell me which one should be the right one? Thanks again and sorry for the continues questions...

I'm guessing that the graphics you are looking for are all of the ones on that page that have anything in their titles about the chat input box. It looks like there are ten of them.

• UI-CHATINPUTBORDER-LEFT.png
• UI-CHATINPUTBORDER-RIGHT.png
• UI-ChatInputBorder-Left2.png
• UI-ChatInputBorder-Mid.png
• UI-ChatInputBorder-Mid2.png
• UI-ChatInputBorder-Right2.png
• UI-ChatInputBorder.png
• UI-ChatInputBorderFocus-Left.png
• UI-ChatInputBorderFocus-Mid.png
• UI-ChatInputBorderFocus-Right.png

If it is not necessary to use a blank graphic for all of them, I'm sure someone will jump in here and correct me. 8^) You can see the graphics by clicking on the "Show all images" link at the top of the list. In the bottom row you will see what appears to be a blank space next to the single edit box graphic. That's not a blank space, it's the three "Focus" graphics.
