I have a few suggestions for you guys...

1.) Numerically setting chat box transparency. It's annoying right now that we have to use that stupid slider to set the chat box transparency, is there anyway you can add a mod to allow us to change our text boxes to a numeric alpha transparency.

2.) Chat box mouseover transparency level. You know how right now when you mouseover the chat box it gets a little darker, it would be nice if you could actually set how dark it gets.

3.) This is the one I'm most interested in, a mana shield damage countdown. Whenever I cast mana shield I'm always unsure of how much more damage it can take before it disappears. It would be nice to have a little HUD with this information so I know when I need to recast.

I love Cosmos though! Keep up the good work.

1. FCF_SetWindowAlpha(ChatFrame1, X, false);
X should be a number between 0 and 1. 0 = totally transparent, 1 = opaque

2. Requires changes to code. I think I know where (line 884 and 887 in FloatingChatFrame.lua), but they're not exposed to the outside.

3. Good idea - I've added this to my todolist.

Where do I enter in this FCF thing?

At the chat box:

/script FCF_SetWindowAlpha(ChatFrame1, 0.84, false);

(replace 0.84 with whatever)
