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

And? WoWI has a nice bit of text that can specifically indicate a mod works with a version without a TOC bump, Curse as well can let you specify what version a file works with without requiring authors to push versions for a single line change.

Pushing an addon purely for a toc bump is silly and adds extra load onto resource sites because people are redownloading the addon for a single number change. It's even worse on patch days when the sites are generally bogged down already without people making it worse with worthless updates.

Their loss? If it's not in the outdated category and users aren't ranting and raving in the comments that it's broken, then it most likely works just fine.

And "works with vX.X" has nothing to do with the TOC number, authors could edit their page and check that yet never update the TOC version in their file. Simply put, TOC number is *MEANINGLESS* Why should all that bandwidth be wasted to change a single char so that you *think* the addon has been updated? That's stupid.

That tells me some addon / macro is trying to print stuff in chat with very dirty way when you login.
If you have ie '/s Hai guys!' in macro, it'll leave the chatborder as white eventho the ChatFrameEditBox haven't been opened (most likely a bug, will have to look at it).

Very good addon, thank you!

If there is a way to disable chatbox border at all? Before installing this, i had no border around chatwindow, and now border is here when i log on in game (white color), it dissapears after i press enter to type and escape to cancel, but still, border appears when i typing in channel (channel colorized).

I want only editbox colored border, is it possible?

If you need something that changes the "layout" (and I assume you mean chat font and size and such) then you'll need a mod that's a little more robust like Chatter or Prat. If you're looking to change the size and location of your chat boxes, that can be done without an addon in-game. Simply right click the "general" tab in your chat frame, select "unlock window" then move the frame around until it is where you like. While it is unlocked, you can drag the bottom right corner to resize it (to a certain point).
I support BasicChatMods.
