RpgChat
by danakiselev
RpgChat moves chat messages into a darkened panel at the center of the screen, styled after narrative RPG dialogue boxes.
What it does
Vanilla chat sits as a gray block along the bottom edge, while RpgChat shows incoming messages as pop-ups in the middle of the screen. Each message shows the sender's head skin and nickname, with the nickname color chosen from an RGB color wheel rather than the 16 standard colors. Square brackets around the nickname and a colon after it can be switched on or off, and the head size and spacing between head and nickname can be adjusted.
The window scale, background transparency and how long a message stays visible are all configurable. A separate chat history window keeps earlier messages in a scrolling list that automatically moves down to new messages. The interface uses a dark glass theme with no white menus, and a Reset Default button restores the settings if a change goes wrong. The settings screen opens from the mod's dedicated key, K by default, and the key can be rebound in the controls settings, where the chat history can also be opened. The mod sends nothing to the server, so it does not interfere with a server or with other players.

What the author says
RPG Chat — a chat mod that finally doesn’t look like the vanilla version Tired of the chat being just a gray wall of text at the bottom of the screen? Me too. That’s why I made a mod that displays messages in the center of the screen—it looks great and lets you customize it to your liking.
