All you need to do is create 2 new chat windows,
filter the melee hits to one and the other,
filter the disciplines and spells and wahatever to yet another window if u like
Change the size of messages in the menu options
Then just set the fade to / normal to 0 percent, the chat text stays on, the chat input box and window frame disappears
Size your window or move it so the chat input bar disappears out of the screen, and stack your 2nd window on top , since the window frame will be invisible anyway
then Lock them and rename title to ' ' a space if you like
Also use ' always chat here' on the main woindow and you're set
I didnt shorten the dmg message in this old sshot of mine,. I like em like that (ps : dont rub the wrong side of a Halfling Warrior Lass
)
ps: also set the colours to red / green, with the misses in a slightly darker and les saturated shade, VERY intuitive I would think
