[Suggestion] Improve Chat Box with Auto-hide and Automatic Resizing

[RyoFujo]

Personally I found the automatically resizing chat box at the bottom of the screen ideal in FFXI for saving screen real estate during combat. Please consider implementing something similar for FFXIV.

Suggestions for chat/message box:
1. Auto-hide the tabs at the top
2. Auto-hide the input field and divider at the bottom
3. Auto-size the height to a maximum number of lines
4. Auto-size back to a minimum number of lines over time

Well if we auto-hide #2-4, we will miss out on people trying to chat or give out info durning combat. I know this can be combated with teamspeak or whatnot, but not everyone speaks the same language ya know? maybe an option to turn on such auto-hiding, but definitely not forced.

Yes please I would love the auto resize thing like in FFXI it's annoying having my chat window there with nothing in it.
