Chat Mod like Prat but..

Are there any chat mods out there like Prat, but use alot less memory, and is just as customizable? Heres a few things i'm looking for in a chat mod that prat has:

Color names in chat by class.

Moveable "edit box"(where you type your text)

Arrow keys/Emote menu buttons removable/Hidden.

Shrink the chatbox as small as possible with/without limits.

Possible custom outlines to make the chatbox look nicer.

Mouse wheel scrollable chat.

no need for alt keys to scroll your previous text up.

Possible "sticky" function so the chatbox can be moved and 'stick' to the screen.

spam filter.

Sound/alarm if a *specific person* logs on(friends or otherwise).


Anything like this list would be helpful in finding the perfect chat mod to do so, I know the masses will probably say "just use Prat" but I don't want to, I run an old laptop and i'm trying to keep it as bogged down as possible by mods, while still keeping the ones I really use ALOT.

Thanks for any help, appreciated.

On my computer at least , Prat-3.0 uses less memory than Chatter.

The key is go through all the modules and disable the stuff you don't use

As mentioned already, Chatter should do it quite well. In regards to a spam filter, BadBoy is terrific.

For what prat does, it is extremely efficient.


zomg, I need a pickup truck that can pull a 30' boat, and/or my RV, plus be able to move a half a ton of bricks every now and then, and I want it to get 40mpg...

Personally I switched to chatter because it allows me to place custom borders around each chat frame, where if I recall Prat couldn't do this. The way I had to do it before was restrict all my chat frames to one size, then use kgPanels to create a border for the chat frames.

Give it a try, you may like it.
