How to keep chat on?

[Bludstaine]

is there a way to keep the chat box on all the time instead of it fading when not being used? i was able to figure out how to keep the skill, hp, stam and mag bars on at all time but can't figure it out for chat.

I don't think you can prevent the chat text from fading over time. I couldn't figure out a way either, last time I checked.
There's an addon, Wykkyd Enhanced Chat[www.esoui.com] (you can also find it in Minion), that claims to "Force the chat window not to fade". It has'nt been updated in quite a while though (last time was after the release of Murkmire).

look at your option menu there sould be a option for the chatbox
