    I would even go a step further and say: Please give us 3 separate windows.

    1) a chat window for conversations - Allow us to set different colors for ls / shout / yell / talk etc. complete with filters.

    2) a log window for damage dealt / taken - different font colors for damage taken / dealt / party / alliance / outside alliance complete with filters.

    3) a log window for actions / status effects / game messages. - again, different colors to differentiate between party / alliance / outside party / alliance.

    Well, on a 1920x1080 monitor, the chat window is like 1/3 full, so they would easily fit side by side on there.

    for lower res, they could go above / below each other.

    Let's be honest, 4 lines of chat is plenty when it's not full of damage / status effect info etc. Most of the time, you don't even need to see the damage window, but it would be nice to have like 2 lines always visible and just expand it when you feel the need. The status one you might want more lines, depending how many people your with. 4 lines is probably plenty for small group / duo / solo.

    It's still basically the same amount of stuff, only separated for convenience.

    Here is a SS i found on Google image search, that sorta illustrates this. Notice all the empty area in the chat window? That could be broken out into separate windows.
