Does anyone know if there is an addon which will make the new 'Gamepad Chat' stay active?

It's kinda annoying that it keeps fading out but I prefer it to the keyboard chat oddly. Just wondered if there is any way to keep it open!

    I found a way I think, will create a small addon for it.

    You can find it on esoui/minion as well soon.
    Caht will be not fading for 999999 seconds now.

    If you want to change that value for the unpinned/pinned (minimized) mode:
    Edit the file GamepadchatNoFade.lua with a text editor. At the top you will find the 2 constants
    --Change the numbers 999999 below to seconds that you want the chat to stay active
    --If unpinned (not minimized)
    local ZO_GAMEPAD_CHAT_SYSTEM_SECONDS_VISIBLE_UNPINNED = 999999
    --If pinned (minimized)
    local ZO_GAMEPAD_CHAT_SYSTEM_SECONDS_VISIBLE_PINNED = 999999
    

    Edit the 999999 values and save the file, do a /reloadui in chat and it should adopt.

    Could be buggy. if you find anything not working please write me here:
