Chatter
Chatter is a comprehensive, lightweight, mega-configurable chat enhancement addon. It supports a whole bunch of stuff, including:
- Hiding buttons
- Custom aliases for channel names
- Coloring of player names by class or deterministic HSV formula, and player levels next to names
- Custom font and font size for your chat frames
- Custom background, border, and positioning for the edit box
- Option to let the edit box border color match the color of the channel you are typing in
- Channel colors remembered by name, rather than by number
- Scrolling your chat frames with the mouse wheel.
- Sticky channels, configurable
- Ability to copy a chat frame's contents to your clipboard
- Ability to copy URLs to your clipboard
- Ability to customize the background and border of your chat frames
- Timestamps
- A /tt command to send a tell to your target
- A module that turns the word "invite" into clickable links that let you invite the speaker.
- Highlights both for custom keywords in specific channels
- Chat fading toggles
- Text justification
- Autologging (Off by default)
- Alt linking
- Much larger and smaller chat frames than default
- A Groupsay (/gr) command to talk to your group, whether that's battleground, raid, or party.
- Chat Tab look-n-feel modifications
- Paging through chat tabs with the scroll wheel
I was wondering how do you change your character's language with this addon up. I'm talking about if I'm on a night elf and I want to talk in Darnassian. I can't seem to find the button to change this anymore since I installed this addon. I don't know if I'm over looking something, or misunderstanding something.
As of the latest patch I cannot see Real ID whispers anymore, nothing I wrote, nothing I received. Not even in separate whisperwindows.
Feature request: I have a tab just for whispers/realid conversations. Is there any way to show these the next time I log in? So if someone sends me a tell when I'm afk and I get disconnected, I can scroll back and see what I've missed.
so It looks like the text outline for the chatbox isn't being remember. I'll verify this once I know for certain.
Screenshots please
is there a planned update to support 4.3 without wierd stuff?
For some reason the timestamps module no longer works. I can turn on the timestamps in the default UI, but they only show for channel messages, tells, and party messages, not for loot, channel changes, server messages, etc. like Chatter's did. Plus they don't have the handy brackets!

I currently HAve my Chatter box located in the very bottom left corner of the screen, and it is made very small. When I right click on the chat tab to select the copy text feature the menu goes off the screen. This makes it impossible to select the copy chat option. I looked for an option to lock the addon to the screen, and could not find one. Any help would be great.
Any possibility to add option to minimize chat window?
After patch 4.3 (and disabling out of date addons) i noticed the default wow interface had a minimize option on each chat window (have been using chatter a long time, so might be an old feature).
Would love to see some option to minimize chat window, as well as "minimize to" (so you can choose to minimize down or up or left or right)..
Hi there,
i like to make a suggestion for one more feature. Adjustable row spacing. On some fonts, font-size and outline combinations the rows are to close to each other. an adjustable row spacing could make it more readable.
Hi. I wanna to ask why this addon dont have cyrilic and if he have how i to set him to work ?
now when i type text i see only "????? -????? ??????? ?? ????" (this). Please add in any next update :~(
So i love this add on thus far, but i recently moved my chat box, and not they area were i enter text is stuck were it use to be, and i cant find anyway to hide or move it :(
Have you found a solution to this yet? I'm having the same issue as yours =(
Where do I turn off the option to make the arrow scroll through recent messages? The chatlog already has this built into it by pressing alt and doing so without alt makes it difficult to both run and type at the same time.
My chatter settings reset when I log out, is there a fix for this? I was using Prat, but if I cant keep the settings set, I might end up going back. Really love the work on the addon though!
My chatter seems to be bugging out when i switch chars. i have it set in one place but then switch chars and its gone, and by gone i mean its off the screen. i have to disable and enable the add on befor it will come back. i tried locking it into position. is there anything that can be done? its gettign to the point that im about ready to delete it and i dont want to because other than that i LOVE this add on. pleas help.
Is there a way to make the chat tabs stay visible at all times?
I seem to be missing that setting somewhere...
