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.
Glass is available on CurseForge
You may also download the latest release on GitHub
/glass
- open the settings window/glass lock
- unlock the chat frame
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.
- 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".
