Inkwell

Inkwell is a lightweight chat companion for World of Warcraft.

It does not replace Blizzard chat frames. It only adds behavior on top of them.

## What it does

- Click the handle to minimize chat. Click again, press Enter, type /, or reply to restore it.
- Chat-frame side buttons stack upward from the bottom-left so they stay grouped at any chat size.
- While chat is hidden, messages can appear as toasts. One toast at a time; the rest queue.
- Per-type filters, mention-only mode, duration slider, class icons, and type icons.
- Channel and chat-type colors start from Blizzard's colors. You can change them; that also updates default chat.
- Optional auto-minimize after idle time.
- Your own messages are not toasted. Click a toast to dismiss it.

## Commands

- /inkwell — options
- /inkwell toggle — hide or show chat
- /inkwell hide — tuck chat away
- /inkwell show — restore chat
- /inkwell toasts — toggle hidden-chat toasts

Right-click the minimize handle to open options.

## Install

Extract the zip so you have:

World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/Inkwell/

Then /reload.

## Design

Inkwell is built to enhance default chat, not replace it. There is no custom chat frame and no bubble skin.
