zChat 
Attention!
I'm not going to be working on this for a while, as I'm not actively playing WoW right now. I will, however, update this as soon as possible! Promised!
Thanks to: Tekkub for teknicolor, which I used as a reference
This AddOn supports: Class Colors
Config type: Lua config. You will have to edit the core.lua file in the zChat folder to configurate this addon. There is no ingame config (yet!).
What is it?
zChat is a simple, lightweight chat AddOn. Made initially for personal use, it only has features I use and a few more.
Features
- Custom font size (default is 12, Blizzard default is 14)
- Time stamps
- Modification of the channel format (default is "CHANNEL|", Blizzard default is "[CHANNEL]")
- Color player names in class colors (support for Class Colors, see above)
- Change the appearance of the chat box
- Save chat history inbetween sessions
- Scroll through chat history without holding down your alt key
- Resize and slightly reposition the chat buttons
- Disable fading of old text
- Possibility to hide the buttons
- Possibility to move the chat box above the chat
- Tell target slash command: "/tt message"
- Own nickname highlight
- New: Unclamp the chat frames
- New: Hide the "friends" button
Notes
If the class of a player isn't known yet, the name will appear with a gray color.
Right-aligned chat buttons are not possible yet due to the button modifications. I will work around this later.
I suggest turning the chat options back to classic behavior while using zChat.
The current release is the initial 3.3.5 release. Not everything I promised is implented yet, I just released this early to enable usage with 3.3.5 again. Stay tuned!
There's a small config in the core.lua. You can do/change the following:
- Font size
- Time stamp color
- Time stamp format
- Channel format
- Player name format
- Player name no-class color
- Highlight color
- Hide the buttons
- Move the chat box above the chat
I'm open for suggestions, though implementation of new features should be worth it (no useless features).
Please report all bugs you can find

Can the yellow arrow buttons and whatnot be hidden?
Is the time local or server time, and can you choose? Is the time military time, and if so, can you change it? Can you add AM/PM to the time? Would your addon work with nUI? Sorry for all the questions

Only thing missing would be item link on hover, otherwise I'd totally make the switch. I do understand that the intent for this was to minimize code for efficiency, so pay my opinions no attention.
Nice though, very nice. |

hi.. must say i love your mod.. has exactly what i use and nothing more..
i made a very minor tweak to add the only thing i was missing.. feel free to use the code if you like it Code:
if IsShiftKeyDown() then
if delta > 0 then
self:PageUp();
elseif delta < 0 then
self:PageDown();
end
else
if delta > 0 then
self:ScrollUp();
elseif delta < 0 then
self:ScrollDown();
end
end
