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)

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

..and the menu button inside the chatframe. Exactly like the scrolldown button but in the upperright corner.

I saw your compilation "Gold UI". It is because of other mod. I don't know which. But I will make a module that fix the problem.

Simple:

Increased memory and CPU usage.
Requires Ace2 (some players don't use it - I don't use)

Have you actually done CPU profiling of both? Last time I looked at your mod...it was calling somewhat-expensive functions (this:GetParent():GetName() twice) during a non-throttled OnUpdate function (for a "module" I didn't even have "enabled") which was causing constant CPU usage, even when nothing was happening.

Your mod also creates a copy of the global table 7 times during startup (and then proceeds to use getglobal instead of the cache). Your other "modules" create an astonishing amount of garbage as well, not to mention timestamps creating some very vauge and unneeded global functions.

By all means correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you've done as extensive profiling of your own mod as you would want your users to believe, and your mod is far from efficient in relation to how you advertise it.

I used Option House to see wich had a lower memory and CPU usage: LM Chat or Phanx Chat.
LM Chat had a lower memory and CPU usage.

Thanks. It could be a library doing it. This is the only chat mod I use.

Also, another great module would be greater scaling of the chat frames, like being able to make them smaller or bigger than the default UI lets you make them.

jaliborc A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 196 File comments: 329 Uploads: 20	Rewrite Users may be thinking why LMChat hasn't been updated in the last months. To make sure the users don't think this has been abandoned, I'm going to explain what is happening: These past few months I've been "working" on several mods and I had to let LMChat in the end of the "to-do pile". In compensation, I'm working on a totally rewrite of this mod, that will be much more ambitious and "user friendly". Please be patient, I'm sure you can live without this mod for some time.

fostic_popcorn A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 51 Uploads: 2	Hey! I just wanted to drop in and say, this is a fantastic mod that does everything I need it to and is simply stunningly light weight in memory usage. (it registers as 1.9KiB for me, which is the smallest of all my addons, and a third of the size of my second smallest one!) That alone is amazing to me. I just wanted to ask a few things, will this be updated for WOTLK? I have beta, but haven't tested it out yet. I can in a few minutes and update this post with whether the addon works. EDIT: It works just dandy in WOTLK. Great! Also, my second question is, would there be any way of getting channels to sticky as well? This is a minor thing as the default wow does not offer this option anyway, so it's no big change for me to continually type /1 or /3. Anyway, thanks for the great mod! I hope it gets updated soon!
