At the moment I've got three chat windows. Bottom left of my screen has Guild/Raid/Party, Bottom right has Trade/General/Notifcations, and I've got the third above the Guild one for a custom guild raiding channel for our healers. (Using WoWIM for whispers)
I'd like to consolidate them, and feel that the current Blizzard blinking notification isn't enough to catch my attention. I've got an addon for playing a different sound depending on the channel, which is cool, but sometimes I just don't notice it.
I'm trying to clean up my UI a bit and these three windows are the biggest eyesore, offsetting other addons and cluttering my screen or forcing me to make things smaller.
I'm open to suggestions and different ways of thinking about my chat frames. Ideally I'd like just one window, but be able to see the tabs blinking better. Maybe even switch tabs or include/exclude different channels depending on combat? Any addons around that do that?
