An immersive and minimalistic chat UI for World of Warcraft
Now with support for Retail (Midnight), WoW Forever, Classic Era/Hardcore, Burning Crusade Anniversary, and Mists of Pandaria Classic.
Demo
Why?
I wanted to have a chat UI that didn't look like it was designed in 2004.
I tried several addons that customize the chat interface but was left unsatisfied. So I decided to make one myself.
The goal of Glass is to be unobtrusive. Messages only appear when they come in and fades out after a few seconds. Chat tabs are hidden until the player hovers over the chat UI. There is no always-visible background. Glass is invisible until the player needs it.

- Works alongside addons like Prat, ElvUI, and Leatrix Plus.
Addon compatibility
ElvUI
Glass works with ElvUI, but make sure to disable the Chat module.
Prat 3.0
Glass works with Prat, but make sure to disable the EditBox module.
Prat Timestamps work with Glass but with a caveat. Prat allows you to select which tabs to enable timestamps on. This is currently not supported and Timestamps will be enabled on all tabs if the Prat Timestamps module is loaded. If you want to disable Prat Timestamps, you'll need to set the module to "Don't load" (just "Disabled" won't work).
Note: WoW's built-in timestamps work with Glass. (Interface -> Social -> Timestamps)
Leatrix Plus
Glass works with Leatrix Plus. You might encounter issues when enabling features that modify chat behaviour such as "Recent chat window" or "Use easy resizing". Switching these features off will resolve issues with Glass.
