Improved Chat Bar

Description
This mod tweaks the chat box in order to improve its readability. Useful particularly for roleplayers/multiplayers. It's made to be used with Enhanced Chat Readability, but you will still be fine even without that mod.

Client-side mod, safe to be installed for multiplayer even if others don't have this installed.

Changes:
  • Tabs have subtle colorization to indicate category ("All" is green, "Log" is cyan, etc), matching vanilla colorization;
  • Tabs have better contrast between active and inactive tabs;
  • Text color in typing box is now white instead of green;
  • More readable "Party" chats;
  • More chat history limit (from 64 to 512);
  • Longer chat duration before fading out (from 5 seconds to 15 seconds);
  • Whispers from other players appear on every channel (instead of only on "All").

Inspired from:
Chat Duration, Chat Mod v2.1, Whisper Chat.

Why do you think it doesn't? This is just an UI mod. The most compatible kind of mod.

Does this still work

Yes, it's just an UI replacer.

Does this still work for multiplayer on current build?

Sneak update: changed the "local" color to purple and changed the "player" text to "global" (makes more sense since we have "local"!).

You can do that in vanilla. You just need to make sure what you're trying to paste has no line breaks, as those don't 'exist' in Starbound.

@CN RPG:
It's a client-side mod, means everyone else don't have to have this mod.

@MarauderKnight3:
Thanks!
