Why use it

If you don't use Chat, the button is a permanent bit of clutter at the toolbar's corner, and easy to click by accident.

  • Handy if you want a quieter toolbar.
  • Chat is still in the menu, so nothing is lost.

Turn it on

Open Dia → Settings → Patches and switch on Hide Chat Button. Or run:

diatweaks enable hideChatButton

Works with

While Hide Toolbar is on, the button is hidden with the rest of the toolbar and this switch is greyed out in Settings. With Show Toolbar on Hover too, the button stays hidden when the toolbar shows, as long as this tweak is on.

FAQ

Can I still use Chat?

Yes. This only hides the button. Chat is still in Dia's File menu.
