Sleek Chat is a minimalist chat popout enhancement for Foundry VTT v13+ that lets you focus on one message at a time. Perfect for keeping your screen clean while still staying connected to the conversation.
In Foundry VTT, go to the Add-on Modules tab and click Install Module. Then:
- Search in the top bar for "sleek chat" and click on the Install button
- Enable the module in your Game Settings under Manage Modules
OR
- Paste the following manifest URL into the bottom Manifest URL field:
https://github.com/mordachai/sleek-chat/releases/latest/download/module.json - Enable the module in your Game Settings under Manage Modules
Right-click the Chat button in the right sidebar and select "Pop Out to Window". Sleek Chat takes over from there!
The popout window shows one message at a time with:
- Previous / Next buttons - Navigate through your chat history
- Jump to Bottom button (▼) - Skip to the latest message
- Auto-fade - Chat fades out when you're not using it, comes back at full opacity when you hover or type
All settings are found in Module Settings:
- Faded Opacity - How transparent the chat gets when idle (default: 50%)
- Fade Out Time - How long to wait before fading (default: 2000ms)
- Enable Debug Mode - Shows detailed console logs for troubleshooting
Some game systems with custom chat buttons may have interaction quirks. If you run into any issues, let me know here: https://github.com/mordachai/sleek-chat/issues
