chat windows on second monitor

There are damage and combat real-time parsing programs (example ACT) that read off the log files, wouldn't it be nice if someone made a parsing program that would allow us to display different chat windows on a second monitor?
I understand we would still need one chat window open in eq2 UI in order to talk and reply but it sure would clean up a lot of real-estate.

you mean having in-game chat windows appear in out-of-game windows?

Just my assumption but sounds like he's talking about an application to montior and relay chat through the application.

I just use in game tabs.
Checkout the ThorUI AU screenshot for how I have mine setup.

I think he means having EQ2 running only on one monitor, and having a program running on a second monitor with a parser that feeds the chat over there.

Not sure why you'd want that, as I don't think you'd be able to reply to your chat that way w/o the program injecting data into EQ2, which I believe is an EULA no-no.

Sorry if i didn't make myself clear, I started this tread in the middle of the night (sleep deprivation - hehe).

I guess the best way to explain is to show you what i would love to do...

Sign me up for that one. It sure would allow me to enjoy the graphics in the game much more.

I'm currently working on a project now that will do just that along with other things related to this site.
