VelvetChat

VelvetChat replaces the single fixed chat box with chat windows you arrange yourself — as many as you want, wherever you want them, each with its own tabs, filters and settings.

Client-side only. Nothing is sent to the server, and it works on any server you can join.

Windows

• Make as many as you need. Each window is moved, resized and configured on its own.
• Drag from anywhere, resize from any edge. Windows are kept clear of the chat input so nothing ends up underneath it.
• Three visibility modes per window:
  • Always — stays on screen even with the chat closed.
  • On new message — fades in and out like vanilla.
  • While the chat is open — only visible when you are typing.
• Layout is saved, so your setup is there again next time.

Tabs and filters

• Every window carries its own row of tabs.
• Main takes everything. A filter on another tab collects a copy of what it matches — it never takes messages away from Main. Only a filter set to hide keeps a line out.
• Several words per filter, matched against the message text.
• Each filter can be edited or removed from its own row; tabs and windows can be deleted the same way.
• An unread mark on a tab tells you a message landed there while you were looking somewhere else.

Messages

• Timestamps, globally or per tab, with a format you choose.
• Right-click a message to copy it as plain text — colour codes stripped, timestamp included when timestamps are on.
• Message markers: a coloured bar down the side of each message, so you can tell two one-line messages apart at a glance. The colour is yours to pick.
• Repeated lines stack instead of filling the screen.
• Per-tab line limit, text shadow, and an anti-chat-clear option for servers that spam blank lines to push history away.

Appearance

• A full settings panel inside the window itself — no separate screen to leave the game for.
• ARGB colour picker for the window background.
