Prat 3.0
In loving memory of Jon Akthar (Sylvanaar)
Hello WoW community, I'm LuciferCatnip, Sylvanaar was my coworker and my mentor. It goes without saying that Jon was an amazingly talented individual. He always seemed to know everything... but he once said to me "It's not about knowing the answers, it's about asking the right questions", he always challenged me to ask me the right questions until I would arrive at the answer on my own terms. Jon was also a champion of the open source movement, and so with special thanks to Gil from Curseforge as well as Sylvanaar's family, there's no better way to honor Sylvanaar's legacy than to keep his project going strong in the community.
If you'd like to help maintain Prat, please reach out to MysticalOS or LuciferCatnip directly. Thank you so much.
About
Prat-3.0 is a chat enhancement addon for World of Warcraft.
It is made up of 30+ smaller "modules" which each provide additional functionality, and can be enabled or disabled individually.
In game, type /prat for a menu. Or use the icon on one of the many data broker hosts.
Prat has just about every feature you can think of, and then some. Really. When I get some more time, I'll try and put together a full list (Even I have lost count)
(Thanks to Dreamsight for this partial list)
- Sync your chat settings across your account (Beta)
- AI powered spam filter (Beta)
- Change arrows, buttons, mouse scroll for chat scroll, scroll speed
- you can add player color per channel, color per level, color per class
- timestamps (styled)
- whether to show timestamp (what format the timestamp should be in)
- whether to show players level
- you can select the option for channel "stickys" (last channel you used you auto use when hitting enter, that sort of thing – or last thing someone said)
- change the looks of the chat's editbox - as well as where it appears (you can even undock it and move it to where you'd like it to be)
- chat fading, fading delay
- You can change the font to a list of fonts, add an outline to it, monochrome it (if you don’t mind messing with files a bit you could probably even add other fonts to that list)
- change the chat frame/chat box appearance
- Keep chat history between game sessions
- Set channel abbreviations
- set brackets and color(or something instead of brackets)round player/lvl
- alt invite option (press keyboard “alt” button and click on the player’s name to auto inv them)
- raid icon
- invite links - click them to invite the person
- URL copying
- Full chat copying + copy button
- Click timestamp to copy line
- Configurable alerts when your name or other word is mentioned
- enables tell target /tt which whispers your target
- Alias options - make macros into short commands
- See names of players Alt characters
- change chat sounds (incoming and outgoing as well as per channel)
- Achievements info and grats
- Full chat search and search box
- Customizable filters for advanced users
- Show item icon next to item links and player class icon next to player names
- Icon-only options for newcomers chat
- Optional flashing or font color change for chat tabs when a new message comes in.
You can enable/disable all Prat modules - don't have to have the ones you don't use running
While trying to reduce resource utilization, it is also important to note that some people prefer the features, and don't care that an addon uses 500k more.
The button to view more of that chat is gone? Also is it possible to have old edit mode, not blizzards new ui? Old was better.

I have the same problem.
Would appreciate it, if Prat left my chat window color settings unchanged. Every login/relog it turns the opacity back up.
Alt names are appearing in black for me
Did something change with the background when hovering over the chat with the mouse? Because until last week I had the background set to transparent. The default blizzard is now always almost transparent with a slight background. But I want it gone completely. Now I just updated to the newest version and no matter what settings I use there is always a background visible when I hover over the chat.
Did I miss a setting or is this a new feature?
In reply to Zasz_:
I see the same thing basicly. I like dark chat windows. Every time I relog, the transparency is reset
In reply to doctorwizzcurse:
I did reported that issue on github and it got marked as fixed but its still happening.
In reply to NILLme:
I just downloaded the newest version and its still happening. I dont even know if its prat or the default UI interfering with prat.
In reply to Zasz_:
Its Prat, its not happening with other addons. Also it started happening after this version https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/prat-3-0/files/4061916
In reply to NILLme:
I think it started with the pre-patch last week. I had to remove prat entirely back then until a few days ago and I wasnt able to set up the alpha settings for the background with and without prat. A more experienced user told me yesterday its some change how the chat works now, enforcing a background on mouseover regardless what we set up.
I realized that every chat mod I tried to use caused an error. So it's not a Prat problem. I used MoveandImprove addon to resize and move my chat frame and it works fine for me. Try it. If you will get an error - just skip it, dont disable chat addon, it will work fine.
When i click edit mode, ingame editor takes over and I cannot resize properly my chat window. I dont ask for much, if this can be solved, would be awesome.
Unfortunately it seems to not work still
Im not getting any errors with the latest alpha version, thanks for updating this addon and keeping it alive <3
