Posted Apr 30, 2015Is there a way to have "say" and "emote" be grouped in the same window? Most of my RPing happens with those two chat types and i would like to have a way to record them. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Or is this not a feature?
Also, I have a slight bug with the options window. The "General > Main" tab of the options, the buttons and text are all a few inches too low.

Posted Feb 1, 2015Fixes were found for the popup window issue with libwho-2.0 and a typo that allowed incorrect impact from a variable in the global namespace. For those interested and comfortable editing libwho-2.0.lua the instructions are in the WhoLib tickets area (tickets 24 & 25.) A PM has been sent to the wholib project manager as a gentle push.
If you run both WIM and Censusplus you need to make the same updates to both supporting libraries. Due to the way Word of Warcraft client runs, we have no way to know which copy of the library will be considered the active one.
Testing has confirmed that with the fixes installed, manual /who requests return to the chat window when the result count is 0 - 3 characters and to the popup window at returns >3. This is the default WoW client response.
Mysticalos it might be a good idea to test these fixes yourself and send your result observations to the wholib people.
It appears at this time only CensusPlus and WIM make use of the library.. as least I haven't found others that are still active.

Posted Dec 28, 2014This doesn't disable fading?

As for the /who issue. That's more of a complaint for wholib project page, an embedded library WIM just happens to use.
EDIT, I see now there were 3 other options that were invisible for some reason That didn't get fixed by last update which fixed many other invisible options. New version should now have a working global option to control fade in display settings once more.

Posted Dec 13, 2014Hello,
Is there a way to disable the sound when someone sends you a message? I have every sound button I can find clicked off but yet every time, someone sends me a message - *ding.
Also as with everyone else, the fading is quite annoying. Please let us turn that off. Thanks!

Posted Dec 6, 2014Hello. LOVE WIM. However, I found an issue that I assume is a bug, since I can't find a way to stop this behavior caused by WIM.
What happens is this: I try to shift click a name (such as a random name in trade chat) so I can get the normal one line information to popup right there in the normal chat (non-WIM) window. However, as long as I have the WIM addon enabled, it forcibly brings up the /who window instead.
I only just started playing WoW again within the past week. I finally tracked down what was causing this issue, and the problem goes away when I disable WIM. Please is there a way to fix this functionality? Thanks!

Posted Dec 2, 2014An additional request; is it possible to add the class coloring in the WIM windows for channels that the default chat windows have? Or is this an option already and I can't find it?

Posted Nov 30, 2014The option to disable fading is there. forget where but I know mine is disabled.
EDIT, i see problem now. since 6.0 the options are invisible so pretty difficulty to toggle now.
EDIT2, I seem to have fixed problem after about 2 hours of guessing. See if latest release works.
I fixed your problem too nonnon with armory links for US players.

Posted Nov 26, 2014I was beginning to think it was me. I was sure there used to be a setting to control fading but just could not find it. Please add a way to configure this. I love this addon but that one behavior is really distracting. I want to turn off all fading and animations as well.
Thanks.

I'm also getting this issue, I can live with most of it apart from the fading. The fading is driving me absolutely insane, especially since it appears to have zero control and will fade at random times (sometimes I can type an entire message and it will fade afterwards but then other times I will be mid sentence and it just fades lol).

Posted Nov 6, 2014I am also seeing the same errors with WIM following 6.0.2. Expose cannot be disabled neither can fading. To get the Window Behaviour bar to appear you need to move the WIM options window around a bit, but the display is all screwed up. I cannot press R and TAB to cycle through recent chats as in 5.4.8 either
Thanks
