Chat options for a minimalist UI

[Krivvin]

I have a few ideas for a clean UI in regards to chat and having a clean UI for screenshots and long walks in the wilderness.

Currently, the chat will stay visible for as long as the session persists.

I suggest:
1. A text command to clear the chat, such as /clear or something like that.
2. Another channel that has no chat or messages, such as a "silent" channel.
3. An option to have the chat window fade away after a period of inactivity, such as a minute or two (preferably a customizable setting to suit user preference).

I very like the third suggestion. Clears out the screen alot and after persistent i believe there will be no global chat, so its a good option.

While we're on the subject of chat windows, being able to change font size would be very helpful for those running very high-res, or just old and blind like me =P maybe even a resizable window. My .02

does enter still not bring up chat?

I think you have to manually bind it to enter, then it works and also fixes chat bugs.

Does this hide the chat log persisting at the bottom left indefintely?

An additional chat UI suggestion I'd like to throw out is for us users of multiple chat tabs. Too many times have I missed a message in my whispers/guild tabs because I've been in my local chat tab occupied with something else. Flooded combat texts along with other chats would over time push back and remove the older messages I had received in a different tab. A faint little indicator of a newly received message on the corresponding tab would be a nice quality of life change so that I wouldn't have to cycle through all of my tabs just to make sure I didn't miss anything, as I did in MO1.

Honestly I like all of it.

The chat being customizable is important for a number of reason, not least roleplaying.

How can I listen to your confessions when the game floods me with bullshit? We need some clarity.
