Chat Window Manager


(Click your flag to translate the page. Addon includes in-game support for all listed languages.)

REQUIRED LIBRARIES: LibAddonMenu

Fully compatible with pChat, rChat, and pretty much everything else.

Ever been annoyed by chat spam when logging into crafting alts, but don't want to be bothered setting up chat filters on every character? Ever wish the chat window would stay minimized when changing zones or reloading the UI? Or how about having the ability to keybind showing/hiding the chat window, or having a stylish button to click to reload the UI or clear the current chat?


This is a convenience and esthetics addon that will give you several new chat options:
  • Set a key binding to toggle the chat window so you don't have to click minimize/maximize.
  • Set a key binding or type /clear to clear the active chat window.
  • Add a button to the chat window and/or set a key binding to reload the UI.
  • Shift-click the reload button to clear the currently active chat window.
  • Configure the chat window to auto-minimize when logging in, changing zones, or doing a /reloadui.
  • Optionally remember the current chat window state when reloading or changing zones (see Addon Settings).
  • NEW: Add the player online status selector to the chat frame for easy access.
  • NEW: Set a key binding to toggle between online/offline mode with optional chat output.
  • NEW: Added new Simple Delete option. When enabled, presents a simple Yes/No dialogue when deleting instead of having to manually type 'DELETE.'
  • NEW: Added option to hide friend login/logout status alerts from showing in the chat window.
  • NEW: Added sliders to adjust the reload & status buttons for compatibility.

Hi all, I’m back and working on addons again. Times are tough and I am desperately in need of financial support at the moment dealing with disability due to a bleeding brain cavernoma and other expenses on less than $600 monthly fixed income. If anyone can help, or knows anyone that can help, or can possibly feature some of my work on their stream to help drive support my way, I would be immensely grateful. It will help me to continue to bring cool content and updates to you all!

Simple and effective. I was using a much more involved mod before, but the only feature I really wanted was a button to toggle minimizing the chat (and it had separate binds for minimizing and maximizing, oof). Thank you so much for making this.

Is there a way to only minimize the chat window on login/zone if it was already minimized, but leave it up if it wasn't?

Glad you enjoy it. I find it most useful when constantly re-logging testing addon changes I am working on.

I have added the feature you requested in the latest version I just uploaded. There is an option in the setting to enable state memory for the auto-reload feature.

Cheers!

Reload/Clear Button won't go away

Hi. Great little addon. Simple and convenient, just how I like them. However, there seems to be a problem with the "Add Reload/Clear Button" option in the settings menu. I was happy to see that option, but the button stays despite being turned off (and after reloading ui).

Fixed in 1.07, thanks for the report.

If you turn "Add Reload/Clear Button" OFF, often times it will still be there at the top-left corner of your screen instead of anchored to the chat window, still very much clickable.

With the "Remember State" option turned ON, your chat will become visible after lockpicking a chest, whether it was visible to begin with or not.

Window keybind

The toggle window feature stopped working. I checked the keybind and reset it and reloaded the addon, but it still will not open or close the chat window on key press.

Working fine for me. It is possible "load out of date addons" wasn't checked and the addon simply wasn't loading after an update to the game.

It may be possible depending on the source code and API functions available. Many times certain elements of the UI are local to their scope and not accessibly to modify through addons. I will make a note to look into it however.
