basically what i am recommending is like the way the new inventory can hide the treeview, there should be a way added to hide the local chat of the local...

As it is alot of us hide the chat by pushing it outside the screen onto the neocom but this has huge issues as it is, to maximize screen realestate and see more of the actual game as who the hell uses local for anything but trolling anyway, if we want to talk in local most people just move it back over and chat as they need be....

What i'd recommend is the collapse button be added to the local window, to make the local chat window disappear, the local chat icons disappear, and the ability to post a message disappear and basically the window become a local only list of people...

in addition since the chat would be gone the minimum width of the local window could also be made smaller in this state so that perhaps local could be made only big enough for names and icons....

that way we get less window spam which we all hate, and can see more of eve itself and less window, especially windows with minimum sizes for things that are mostly useless (local chat lol)

While we're at it, lets put the local chat list on a delay like wormspace is. Except to nurf some of the crying lets make it a 15 minute delay instead of until talking.
