Description:
--------------------
With the 3.3.5 patch, there were several features added to the default UI for the chat frames. Many of them were things that I had been using a larger chat addon for, and now could move to something smaller. I decided to create that smaller chat addon myself, and ChipperChat was born.
Features:
Hide chat buttons (jump to bottom button moved to lower-right corner, only shows when you are scrolled up)
Move edit box to the top of the chat frame
New editbox textures
Move chat frames to edges of screen
Move chat tabs to bottom of frames
Channel abbreviations
Increased chat history
Now with support for extra chat frames! (whisper/conversation windows)
How To Install:
place ChipperChat folder inside Interface\AddOns
open cc_options.lua in any text editor if you wish to change some settings
log into the game and open up Interface Options > Social
select "Classic Style" in the Chat Style dropdown (this will let the edit box hide when not in use, and give you access to your chat tabs when both the edit box and tabs are on top)
How To Configure:
This addon is configurable only through a .lua file. Open up cc_options.lua in any text editor. (My editor of choice is Notepad++.) If you make extensive changes to the defaults, I suggest saving a backup of your edited copy of cc_options.lua. All options in that file are documented extensively. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments here.
