    • Hides the up, down and menu chat buttons
    • Chat menu button inside the chat frame, at the upright corner optional module
    • Enables chat scrolling
    • Relocates bottom button to be inside the chat frame, and it only appears when you are scrolling.
    • Shorten and removes channel names (the color should be enough)
    • Makes Yell, Whisper, Party, Raid, Guild and Officer channels sticky optional modules
    • Moves the editbox to the top of the frame optional module
    • Lets you choose between several editbox styles (see the second image)
    • Timestamps optional module
    • Disable Tab Flash optional module
    • Disable Text Fading optional module

    Languages
    • English
    • Spanish
    • German (thanks to disiz)
    • French (thanks to oaudry)

    • Chat Box - Robinson

    With cursor moving I understand that, if you are typing and notice few letters before you made an error and want to fix it you should be able to go back with the arrow keys instead of aiming and 'shoot' with your mouse to go to the place in text to fix it (haven't tried out the alt key though).

    Please make short general channel names optional too, because some people (like me) don't like that feature. Well it's your decision anyways.

    Only thing missing then is, to show the scroll-to-bottom button when i have scrolled up, to not miss something important because i forgot to scroll down and can't sdee anywhere that i am not at the bottom. To go immediately to the bottom and not have to scroll down again all the way.

    Exactly. While holding ALT it's possible to move cursor with arrow keys. Without ALT, you'll just turn around.

    I second this request, maybe not button but shift + scroll will take you to very bottom of chat.

    People might find this scroll function handy:
    function scroll(chatframe, y)
    if ( y > 0 ) then
    if IsShiftKeyDown() then
    chatframe:ScrollToTop()
    else
    chatframe:ScrollUp()
    end
    elseif (y < 0 ) then
    if IsShiftKeyDown() then
    chatframe:ScrollToBottom()
    else
    chatframe:ScrollDown()
    end
    end
    end
    It will go to the bottom of the chat log if you hold down shift and scroll with the mousewheel.

    Also this one, it'll let you edit your sentences with the arrow keys, instead of turning around your toon.
    e:SetAltArrowKeyMode(nil)

    In the new version you can use arrow keys to edit sentences.

    It is unnecessary to create the backdrop and region tables and the scroll and hide local functions 7 times. This practice increases your memory use. In fact, you don't even need to create the region table-- l2varag. Also, having your scroll function as a global is just asking for trouble.

    Just for reference: http://www.wowwiki.com/UI_Best_Practices

    * Globals are bad
    * Reusable Tables inside loops are generally bad
    * Global-environment tables inside loops are _always really_ bad
    * Re-skinning a single frame 7 times is also bad
    * Creating the same function 7 times is bad
    * Doing the same *anything* 7 times in a row is generally bad
    * XML is unneeded (and bad)
    * Efficient use of conditionals statements, not so bad!

    And for good measure:
    * Improper indentation is bad

    (If its any consolation, I'm honestly trying to help here, albeit through criticism :P)

    Not true. There's nothing wrong with using XML. The rest of your post is... not wrong enough to warrant correcting, but some of your generalizations show how generalizations are bad.

    Having chat fade disabled by default would be excellent to have.
