    NeonChat  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: 3.2
    by: mikma [More]

    NeonChat does a simple thing:

    It colors the chat+editbox border+background to match the active chat you are about to write.

    Now it's easier to notice if you are about to talk into a wrong chat!
    Prettiness rules OK!

    3.2:
    * .toc 60000

    3.2:
    * .toc 50400

    3.2:
    * GMChatFrame doesn't result an error now.

    3.1:
    * 4.3 update

    3.05:
    * Added a slashcommand to toggle chat coloring on/off.

    3.04:
    * Now uses the border of default Chat EditBox and simply applies a background to it.
    * Colors background of the chatframe, too.

    3.03:
    * Took a try to fix the "Huge" editbox issue with whisper frames

    3.02:
    * Old style chat editbox is back.
    * Now highlights correctly the focused chat frame.

    3.01:
    * Fixed error with IM mode and custom channels.
    * Works with Classic mode.

    3.0:
    * Complete rewrite for 3.3.5
    * Removed options since game colors input now and people still need the chat to be colored :)

    2.02:
    * ChatEditBox background alpha works again like it should

    2.01:
    * Spells/Items in ChatFrame1 can now be re-linked if NeonChat -frames are visible

    2.0:
    * Recode for WoW 3.1 (just cleaned up the code to be nicer :)

    1.4:
    * top updated to 3.0

    1.3.1:
    * toc updated to 2.4

    1.3:
    * Added option to color ChatFrame1 border
    * Added slashcommand to toggle the chatborder on/off
    * Renamed DB in order to reset old settings

    1.2:
    * Fixed an error that would pop up if you would have stickychannels on. (ie. You have sticky Trade on and as active channel, exit city and press enter = error)

    1.1:
    * Added slashcommand, /neonchat (You can now change the alpha of the backdrop and border)
    * Added a minor color into chatinput background

    1.0:
    * Release

    For some weird reason, after updating to v3.02, the editbox when I'm answering a tell or I'm involved in a conversation with RealID friends (in a different window from the main one), becomes huge and ugly...

    Sad panda here reverting back to 3.01 till the problem gets solved.

    Blizz got the coloring thing, this cleans up that shit around the editbox
    I did it like this, atm. Doesn't remove the editbox textures from whisper boxes.
    Code:
    for chatframe=1,10 do
	for i=6,8 do select(i,_G["ChatFrame"..chatframe.."EditBox"]:GetRegions()):Hide() end
end

    Thank you mikma!

    I had to edit the code a bit to stop the massive flood of bugs, that bugsack grabed from neonchat.

    Line 40: --editbox:SetBackdropBorderColor(r,g,b,NeonChatDB.border)
    Line 43: chatborder:SetBackdropColor(r/3,g/3,b/3,NeonChatDB.background)

    Remember, That's temporary fix! But atleast it should work well with ChatFrame1 (eventho the borders are visible at all time etc)

    Well, it might take a while longer for NeonChat to work properly, I might have to recode it to work properly and still look cool. It was easy to make it work with ChatFrame1 but the rest of the frames are a problem.

    The universal cheap hack to fix many of these 3.3.5 errors in various mods--changing
    Code:
    ChatFrameEditBox
    to
    Code:
    ChatFrame1EditBox
    --unfortunately doesn't work for NeonChat. Because the mod modifies much more than just the edit box; the current version references parts of the chat frame that no longer exist.
