v1.2.0 Stable

Second UI cycle: tab layouts modernised in both modes, a new
bottom status bar, card-rows as default message render, and
Auto-Tell tabs that you can finally tell apart at a glance.Sidebar (icon-only, fixed 44 px):
- Tab name on hover-tooltip, vertical accent pill on the
active tab, child background no longer paints the top
padding area. - Per-tab custom icons via Settings → Tabs.
- Auto-Tell tabs: each partner gets a hashed icon (envelope/
star/heart/bell/bookmark/flag/fire) plus hashed color
(12-color palette) — 84 distinct combinations. - Pulsing red dot in the top-right of any tab with unread
messages, subtle 2-second sine pulse, respects
Configuration.ReduceMotion.
Top tabs:
- Accent underline pill on the active tab instead of the old
background fill. Icon prefixes were attempted but reverted
— Dalamud's default font atlas has no FontAwesome glyphs.
Bottom status bar (22 px, 1×/sec cached):
- Active channel with color dot, Privacy-First badge, tab +
message counters, auto-tell counter (hidden at zero),
plugin version (right-aligned, muted).
Message rendering:
- Card rows by default — sender header in channel color, body
on its own line, subtle border between cards. - Compact-Density toggle in Appearance returns the classic
single-line[HH:mm] Sender: Textlayout.
Bug fixes from in-game testing:
- Settings save no longer wipes chat history. Refilter cycle
only runs when filter-relevant settings actually changed
(privacy, channel selection); cosmetic changes leave the
chat intact. Persistent and Auto-Tell tabs both survive. - Hellion Schrift (Exo 2) no longer blocks font-size
adjustment — 4K users can scale up properly. - Sidebar buttons align with the first message row, status
bar version slot is no longer clipped.
Migration v14 → v15: legacy theme fields removed
(HellionThemeEnabled, HellionThemeWindowOpacity). All other
settings preserved.Polish (lerps, theme crossfade, header quick-picker) follows
in v1.3.0.Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
