Glass

An immersive and minimalistic chat UI for World of Warcraft

Demo

(Click for slightly higher resolution)

Why?

I wanted to have a chat UI that didn't look like it was designed in 2004.

I tried several addons that customize the chat interface but was left unsatisfied. So I decided to make one myself.

The goal of Glass is to be unobtrusive. Messages only appear when they come in and fades out after a few seconds. Chat tabs are hidden until the player hovers over the chat UI. There is no always-visible background. Glass is invisible until the player needs it.

Install

Glass is available on CurseForge

You may also download the latest release on GitHub

Commands

  • /glass - open the settings window
  • /glass lock - unlock the chat frame

Customization

Not everyone likes the same look. Glass tries to accommodate your own preferences by giving you options to change the:

  • Chat frame width, height, and location
  • Font and font size
  • Message fade out delay
  • Background opacity

Moreover, unlike the default chat UI, these settings may be shared between characters.

Addon compatibility

  • ElvUI
    • Yes, but disable the Chat module
  • Prat 3.0
    • Yes, but disable the EditBox module
    • Prat timestamps are supported. If you want to disable timestamps, you'll need to set the Timestamps module on Prat to "Don't load".
