WhatTheWhisper
WhatTheWhisper turns World of Warcraft whispers into a modern messenger.
Instead of losing private messages inside your normal chat window, every whisper becomes its own conversation — with separate chats, history, unread indicators, notifications, tabs, and a clean messenger-style interface.

A Messenger Built for WoW
WhatTheWhisper is designed to feel more like a modern desktop messenger than a traditional WoW chat addon.
Each player gets their own conversation, making it much easier to follow multiple whispers at once without searching through guild chat, trade chat, loot messages, or combat spam.
Incoming messages can show unread badges and notifications while your current conversation stays exactly where it is.
Chat History
Conversations can be saved between sessions, so important whispers do not disappear the moment you reload or log out.
History limits and automatic cleanup help keep SavedVariables under control.
Modern UI
The interface was built around a clean, modern messenger design with:
Conversation sidebar
Player avatars and class colors
Message grouping
Date separators
Smart auto-scroll
New-message indicators
Dark themes
Custom skins
Modern settings interface
Subtle animations
The goal is simple:
Make whispers feel like an actual messaging app inside World of Warcraft.
URLs
WhatTheWhisper automatically detects web links inside messages and makes them easy to copy.
Because WoW addons cannot directly open your browser, clicking a detected URL opens a copy box so you can quickly press Ctrl+C instead of manually retyping long links.
Combat Friendly
Don't want chat windows covering your screen during combat?
WhatTheWhisper can automatically:
Hide conversations
Minimize windows
Fade the messenger
Restore your previous layout after combat

Standalone
Whispers shouldn't feel like 2004 anymore.
