Chat Window Framdef or other....

Where do I define the area that the Chat Text is allowed to use...?

Attachment 7835

I want a larger topleft/top/topright definition as I have a graphic in the top there... where do I tell FG to stop scrolling the text up?

	<!-- Chat window -->
	<framedef name="chatbox">
		<bitmap file="graphics/frames/chatbox.png" />
		<topleft rect="0,0,15,70" />
		<top rect="15,0,358,70" />
		<topright rect="373,0,15,70" />
		<left rect="0,70,15,476" />
		<middle rect="15,70,358,476" />
		<right rect="373,70,15,545" />
		<bottomleft rect="0,580,15,47" />
		<bottom rect="15,580,358,47" />
		<bottomright rect="373,580,15,47" />
	</framedef>

What you're listing above is purely telling FG which portions of the chatbox.png graphics file to use to build the frame. Controls are then placed within this frame - it is the position of the controls you need to change. Look at <windowclass name="chat"> in desktop\desktop_classes.xml - <chatwindow name="chat"> is the actual chat window control - change the <bounds> of that control.

Thank you Trenloe.
That worked as expected.
Another thing Im having trouble with is the graphic elements for the dicetower and modifier box - I dont seem to be able to change these...? Any thoughts?

The modifier box is specified in <windowclass name="modifierstack"> and the dice tower in <windowclass name="dicetower"> both in desktop\desktop_classes.xml, change the <icon> or <frame> definition for the <genericcontrol> control, respectively.
