  • Configurable compact and expanded heights.
  • Configurable button visibility and position.
  • Options available in the game AddOns options panel.
  • Standalone options window with /che config.
  • Optional macro creation for quick access.
  • Localization for all WoW client languages.

Commands

  • /che - Toggle compact/expanded chat height.
