This information is here instead of in the addon description beacuse it isn't really relevant for the majority of users who just want to know what the addon does and how to use it. It's also nice to have something to link to in response to common requests. :)

Advanced Configuration

Some extra options are available for advanced users who are not afraid to touch code. These are accessed by opening Core.lua in a text editor, and include:

• Set lines scrolled per mousewheel turn
• Change short chat strings and channel names (text, colors, brackets)
• Change the player name format (brackets)
• Change the URL format (color, brackets)
• Select which channels are made sticky
• Blacklist frames to reduce CPU usage

Blacklisting a frame means that it will not be processed to shorten channels, color names, or link URLs. By default, the combat log (ChatFrame2) is blacklisted; if you have created additional frames that don't need these features (for example, I have a chat frame dedicated to loot messages) you can blacklist them to reduce CPU usage.

Please note that I will not provide support for advanced configuration. If you don't understand something, leave it alone, or use the Internet to find out about it:

• wowprogramming.com
• lua.org
• lua-users.org

Declined Features

The following is a list of features which have been requested and declined. Please do not request these features; I have already chosen not to add them to my addon, and will likely ignore or delete your request if it asks for any of these features.

• Timestamps
• Center- or right-aligned chat text
• Mouseover tooltips on links in chat
• Extra entries in player name right-click menu
• Special actions on player name modified clicks (such as alt-click to invite)
• Nicknames, main/alt aliases, or other arbitrary extra text
• Alerts when certain words or messages types are seen in chat
• Free movement of the edit box
• Reskinning of the edit box or other chat frame components (including font)
• Keybindings to open chat in specific channels
• Item links in custom channels (FYI: these dump obnoxious gibberish into chat for people not using the same or a compatible addon)
