Hiding the chattabs

Hey everyone,

i'm looking for an addon _only_ hidding the chattabs by default and showing them if i mouseover them, NOTHING else.

I have already seen some addons doing these things but i do not need an ingame config or different options

Thank you for your help! =)

Hey,

that's what i meant with "I have already seen some addons doing these things but i do not need an ingame config or different options". I do not need so much more than hidding the chattabs and shwing them only on mousehover, but anyway thanks for your tip

Syliha.

Use Fane. It has no GUI and it does what you want.

Add this to an addon:

Code:
CHAT_FRAME_TAB_SELECTED_MOUSEOVER_ALPHA = 1
CHAT_FRAME_TAB_SELECTED_NOMOUSE_ALPHA = 0

CHAT_FRAME_TAB_ALERTING_MOUSEOVER_ALPHA = 0
CHAT_FRAME_TAB_ALERTING_NOMOUSE_ALPHA = 0

CHAT_FRAME_TAB_NORMAL_MOUSEOVER_ALPHA = 1
CHAT_FRAME_TAB_NORMAL_NOMOUSE_ALPHA = 0

Nearly perfect thank you

There is only one little thing:

The Arrow right of the tabs is allways showing after logging in and is fading out after I clicked it. It's not a big deal but it would be nicer if it would be hidden from the beginning, is that possible?

Other than that, thanks sir!

If you have an arrow to the right of your chat tabs, I believe that means that you have more chat tabs than the width of your chat frame allows to display.

Sure, if you know the name of the frame. Or you could remove those chat frames.
