is it possible to change with Prat the font size from the edit box?
Viva
FROM? you mean using a slash command? Sure.
i suspect the OP meant "can you change the font size of text you're typing in the edit box?"
that's how i read it anyway. "for" instead of "from".
and would be a question i'd pose anyway even if that wasn't the original question :)
I am trying to modify the size of the chat frames for the past hour or so but no success so far. How can i change the hight and width of the chat frames cause atm it seems they dont work?

Thanks markf, thats what I mean. Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks for a great addon. I haven't been able to tell yet that it's still in beta. :)
I would like to ask if there is a way to remove the "alpha-add" to the background color when hovering over a chat window. It's a default Blizzard feature and it always annoyed me. Basically, I just want chat windows that are always fully transparent.

Yes. Just right-click the chat frame tab and change the background. There's a transparency slider there. This is also a Blizzard function I believe (it's getting hard to tell with some things these days, haven't used the default UI for more than 2 minutes since EU beta).

That's the default Blizzard slider. But it doesn't do what I am asking for. There is still an alpha-add to the chat window when you hover over it. I looked a bit at Blizzard's code. The hover fade-in/out seems to happen in the function FCF_OnUpdate. If the current alpha of the chat window is less than DEFAULT_CHATFRAME_ALPHA, it will fade-in the alpha until it reaches DEFAULT_CHATFRAME_ALPHA. So I tried setting DEFAULT_CHATFRAME_ALPHA to 0. That actually seemed to work. But I don't know enough about Blizzard's implemenetation to be sure there are no bad side-effects of doing that. Perhaps you could look into it and add it to Prat if you believe it is safe to do?

Somewhere in this thread i think i answered this. Default alpha will fade in any frame with an alpha less than that amount when you hover over with your mouse. So the way you did it was correct I think.
Recently, they started losing their saved font sizes - I realized today, its when I press 'esc' to bring up the game menu - is this a bug or is something conflicting somewhere ?
I had an idea for a feature that may have some limited use but still useful to some people. I play 2 characters on 2 accounts on 2 different computers and sometimes I get tells from people on the screen that I'm not watching. I was wondering would it be too much trouble to add sort of a tell forwarding feature. I thought about making something like it myself but I figured it might clash with Prat and if it was just integrated into Prat, it would make it that much easier.

Look at the fonts module, and try the fix it has, other than that i dont know.
Is it normal to have wrong character lvl in chat frames when someone type in General, Trade, whisper, party? The only char lvl that shows accurately it on guild chat. Any idea?

I believe Prat simply caches the last level/class info obtained via the Who interface and perhaps by other means too. So if the character has leveled up since then, the level will no longer be correct. If you do a new /who on the character (shift-click the name), Prat will update its cache.
I had actually thought about suggesting that Prat do a who on a regular basis to update its cache. But a who request is fairly slow and can only be performed once every X seconds (not sure what X is... about 10 or so).
Getting errors with latest build. Used the updater and now getting errors.

funny is that if i disable presets ( which i do not want it activated and well i didnt had them ) it will appear active when i relog

Totally breaks the addon and nothing works.
Glad to know I'm not the only one =p
