    Picking up the idea and materializing the addon, maintaining through years after quitting WoW

    3.4.5.1
    * prevent chatevents interfering while mouse is hovering over the chatframe

    3.4.5
    * fixup boolean error

    3.4.4
    * config: cleanup events removed from game and update reference list per link

    3.4.3
    * refix frozen chat window on login by direct calls of Animate() instead of unpdateHeight()
    * respect MaximizeCombatLog on floating combatlog and handle docking/dedocking it

    3.4.2.2
    * fix error on chatevent when chatframe is not in config

    3.4.2.1
    * fix minimizing/maximizing ALL windows on mouseover

    3.4.2
    * config is now an own file, instead of being part of core.lua
    this allows for copying/backing up your config between updates
    * swept through code and used chatframes directly instead of frames tucked on the chatframes
    * fixed a bug where config setting would be ignored for certain chat events (eg. only ChatFrame1 for "say" is set, but ChatFrame3 and ChatFrame4 would have been triggered)

    3.4.1
    * fixed "frozen" chat window on login

    3.4
    * crude legion update

    3.3.2
    * try to minimize chat on load
    * Re-introduce ChatFrame:UpdateHeight() to manually update the height
    * fixed a possible error with the chat-tabs

    3.3.1
    * fixed chat height of messages spanning multiple lines

    3.3
    *fixes for 3.3.5
    *simpler event handling, including battle.net-events

    3.2
    *Prevent chat from resizing when moving it around

    3.1
    *TOC bump
    *Added new PartyLeader event to the eventlist

    3.0
    * Another rewrite
    * Chicchai now uses less CPU time
    * You can define how many lines you'd like to see in minimized mode
    * docked chatframes are now handled properly
    * fixed chat frame flickering happening sometimes on mouseover
    * you can define how long you should hover the frame until it maximizes
    * chatframes can stay maximized for a defined time before minimizing on mouseleave
    * you can configure on which custom channels the chatframe maximizes

    2.0
    *Core rewritten
    *You are now able to manage the chatframes you want to be affected (like chatframe 5, 6, 8, and so on)
    *TOC bump

    1.1
    *A few improvements
    *Now Updates when the Chat Window is too small or big

    1.0.1
    *Added Option, that the Chat will stay open for a defined time after mouseover

    Any script-whizzes know how to make a KGpanel hide when chicchai is at 0 lines? It's annoying having hidden most of my UI and have this blank box in the corner.

    Is it possible to make chicchai detect if the message displayed is more then 1 row?

    If set to show 1 message it will minimize to 1 row, even if the message is 2-3 or even 4 rows. This makes the message spill out over the chattabs and look generally horrible

    @wampafodder: tried to fix your issue, but I don't really know if I succeeded. Feel free to post here again if you still have the issue.

    @sacrife: I looked over to the myChat-comments where most users reported it to be working correctly. And if it doesn't work for you, it probably is up to myChat to solve and not to Chicchai - Chicchai does the absolute minimum needed for resizing chatframes.

    @Morgalm: I'll consider it for the rewrite which has currently low priority.

    Any chance of making it so the mouse doesn't have to stay over the frame for x seconds to totally maximize? ie I hover my mouse over the frame and then move out to do something else but it only maximizes half way because the mouse isn't on the frame.

    And also it does not work with the new and somewhat popular myChat.
    I dont know what causes the taint.

    minimize at start
    first things first: great addon!

    i noticed a bug or maybe it's meant to be that way, but anyway it's odd.
    after logging into wow chicchai doesn't work, you have to mouseover the chat first so it will be minimized. it'd be nice if the chat will be minimized as soon as i logon =)

    thx in advance

    Hey Cargor,

    First and foremost, thanks so much for updating the addon ! keep up the amazing work

    I got an error with the basic addon before making any changes to the core, when I tried to click Chat Frame 1's tab (General) to maximize and freeze it. For background into my chat frame setup, I also have Chat Frame 3(hereby referring to these as CF#) attached to CF1, and CF2 (the combat log) is separated into its own frame.

    Here's the Swatter Info:

    It's just a bit syntactic sugar for laziness.

    If you have just a single argument for a function, you can often drop the parenthesis (). So, CreateFrame"Frame" is the same as CreateFrame("Frame"). The other arguments are optional, of course, as you can see from the brackets [].

    Same goes for a lot of other values:
    Code:
    myFunction"a string"
myFunction'a string'

myFunction[[a string over
multiple lines]]

myFunction{
    "a table",
}

    Just a little curiosity here as I have never seen this formatting if you don't mind me asking. What does:

    Code:
    local chicchai = CreateFrame"Frame"
    actually do? I thought CreateFrame() format was:

    Code:
    CreateFrame("frameType"[, "frameName"[, parentFrame[, "inheritsFrame"]]])
    Just curious lol.
