Chat window scrollback buffer

[ratler]

Hey,

Anyone know if it's possible to increase the number of lines (scrollback buffer) that a chat window have by default? I think it's around 100-130 lines right now, but that is far to little in my opinion.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I've poked around a bit and I still don't know what controls it. There is a frame XML property called maxLines (value is 128) but I don't know if that is the max size of the buffer or the max number of lines displayed. There doesn't seem to be any API to set maxLines though so you'd have to replace the frame XML files to test it.

You'll be pleased to know that ScrollingMessageFrame:SetMaxLines(maxLines) is coming in the next big patch (1.7)

Until then, however, you do have to edit the XML.

Awesome, I think I can wait untill patch 1.7 before doing an ugly work around. Thanks for the help.
