Chat Windows

Hey all, I've read so many suggestion, but so far, didn't see 1 of this "Chat Windows", I don't know if anyone dislike this, but for me, I think they should improve it, most of the game Chat Windows are stored history (not daily chat history, maybe store 100 chats or more), in DR, it's different, if anyone start spamming, or many players at 1 screen, you haven't finish read the message and the message is gone..

My suggestion is to stored some chat history (for all Tabs, store like 100 or more), make it like can scroll up and down, not to type /note or something else, and also the Chat Windows must be transparent due to DR screen resolution are small (Y)

I have to agree myself the Chat Window should be improved a bit.
Thing is, if this ever happens, it won't be at official launch, such things are hard to make but might come someday ;)

i agree that the chat window is kinda dull in DR, but i really like it.

you either read it on time or don't read.

don't forget there are these commans:
/notes
/normal notes (or smthing like that)

I'd prioritize making a new resolution standard of 1024*768 over the chat windows imo. 800*640 is just sooooooooooooo old, if you play it fullscreen on a 24" your head will fall off after an hour.

Prioritize? lol, it has no priority. previous attempts at that showed that its not practical, as users with a higher resolution could simply see more than others.. besides, the whole interface would need to be redone..

I know it has no priority hence the 'I would'. If it would get implemented, no one would use the 800*600(seriously who still runs such a low resolution?). Yes, the whole UI would have to be redone but atleast it would also open up extra options for improving the chat and it's simply a great investment imo.

would be nice if it gets done but it shouldnt be a priority. and the chat window (even with /note) doesnt save enough chat when there's many ppl talking on same screen

if it is possible it would be nice to have a function to lock chat window position, cause it is realy a pain when you click it by mistake and it holds to the mouse and move to a diferent position >.<

And I do agree with the history functionality it would be realy great!
