I have always found the chat text fading to be irratating. There are several existing addons out there that remove the fading, but there isn't one (to my knowledge) that only removes the text fading without any other features. I have always preferred addons that do one thing and do that one thing well, so DisableChatTextFading was born.
The actual logic that does the work is from CFEDev on WorldofWar.Net.
Code:
for i=1,7 do getglobal("ChatFrame"..i):SetFading(nil) end
I tweaked the logic a bit and wrapped it in an addon.
You can also put this logic in a macro and click it each time you log in.
Code:
/script for i=1,7 do getglobal("ChatFrame"..i):SetFading(nil) end
The addon can be downloaded from
here.
