Why write a new chat addon?Initially it was just about getting the timestamps aligned properly. However after starting I realised that I needed to replace the chat frames to get the right effect.
As I was replacing the frame I could probably improve the default UI significantly if I invested the time. This addon is what has been created so far.
Upcoming FeaturesFeature requests are welcome, and quite a few features are planned for the future releases already.
