Add outline to chatfont

Hello

I recently started using Basic Chat Mods ... because it's simply the best performance wise.

The only thing I miss, is an outline to the font.
I'm sure it's only a couple of lines of code, something like SetFont(font, size, style), but I can't really nail it down.

Anyone ?

I asked the same thing a while ago and mrruben5 and nightcracker helped with:

Code:
for i = 1, 7 do
    local chat = _G["ChatFrame"..i]
    local font, size = chat:GetFont()
    chat:SetFont(font, size, "THINOUTLINE")
    chat:SetShadowOffset(0, 0)
    chat:SetShadowColor(0, 0, 0, 0)
end
Just pop it in your BasicChatMods .lua file, or another addon's .lua or in it's own little addon.

You can comment out the two lines relating to shadow if you don't want the shadows.
