Smart Chat Fade hides your chat if it is idle or during combat.

options:

in raid:

only let's your chat fade if you are in a raidgroup

combat:

you can choose if and how combat affects your chatbox

chat events:

if you want chatevents to show your chat, you need to check this and all events that are interesting for you

the list of chatevents should speak for itself, tooltip has additional info

track channels:

if you want chats like trade/general or custom channels to unhide your chat, you can check this.

you can list channels you want to use as a trigger yourself (type them one by one, this is like whitelisting channel numbers/names)

or leave it empty to let every channel trigger.

for removing channels from your list, simply type them again

For now I have blacklisted LookingForGroup because it is too spammy on most servers, if you want that channel to show your chat, you can list it up manually.

If your chat unhides even though nothing happened, it may be a channel that you are a member of, but have hidden for example /4 channel,

in this case you should whitelist all channels that you want to trigger your chat, so you can control it yourself

if you are missing something, you found a bug or you think of an improvement for this addon, I would be glad to hear from you!
