OK.. moved computers where I can get access to the code.. let me show you what I have so far:
in desktop panels:
<panel name="chat" modes="host,client">
<class>chat</class>
<anchored>
<top>
<anchor>top</anchor>
<offset>90</offset>
</top>
<bottom>
<anchor>bottom</anchor>
<offset>-120</offset>
</bottom>
<left>
<anchor>left</anchor>
<offset>15</offset>
</left>
<size>
<width>390</width>
</size>
</anchored>
</panel>
....and in desktop classes (I realize the state graphic's position for the 'chat_ooc', etc. hasn't been moved yet in this example).
<windowclass name="chat">
<frame>chatbox</frame>

<chatwindow name="chat">

if username == "" then
if statename == "typing" then
setVisible(true);
elseif statename == "active" or statename == "idle" then
setVisible(false);
end
end
end
function onInit()
User.onUserStateChange = onUserStateChange;
end
</script>
</genericcontrol>
<chatentry name="entry">

</size>
</anchored>
<state position="345,610" speak="chat_speak" emote="chat_emote" action="chat_action" ooc="chat_ooc"
story="chat_story" />
<chatwindow>chat</chatwindow>

<script file="scripts/chat_entry.lua" />
</chatentry>
</sheetdata>
</windowclass>
EDIT: Was a bounds in there for the chat entry line that shouldn't have been.. removed.
I just recreated this code after giving it up.. so its a bit rough.. but should give you an idea of what the issues are.
Also notice that if you have a decent sized monitor (mine has a height of 1080px), the anchor at the bottom (which should be -120 from the bottom when in full screen), seems to mysteriously move up. - like the chat has a maximum size for some reason. Not sure why the anchor does not go all the way to the bottom past a certain maximum desktop height.
