If you want to reverse the chat's display order, you can turn the container into a flex box like so:

.chat-scrollable-area__message-container {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column-reverse;
}

Is there a common reason as to why this doesn't work for me at all? 😅 In OBS, followed the annotations to a T, the full chat appears with no alteration. Thanks!

Dosnt work for me either.

Works great with default Twitch chat!

Modifications

I have some corrections for the badge removal code. Twitch changed the "badge" class on the image tag to "chat-badge" so it no longer worked. I verified the code below fixes Broadcaster, Moderator, Turbo, Verified, Subscriber, and Prime Gaming (formerly Twitch Prime) .

Source: https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/10/21358463/amazon-twitch-prime-gaming-rebrand

Subscriber got a tad trickier. Here are examples I've seen. This was addressed with my changes.

3-Month Subscriber
1-Month Subscriber

Here's a fairly comprehensive list of badges. These are the most common.
https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/twitch-chat-badges-guide?language=en_US

There are more, I have not added here but verified a few alt tags are identical to their name.

Additions

Added VIP badge to bade removal.

Hi! regarding the "subs will appear here" header, you can remove it with this line

.last-x-events_container{
display: none!important;
}

anyone konw how to make chat slides in from the side or add animation when new chat pops in? I have no idea how to do it.

Another optional for white chat messages:

[data-a-target="chat-line-message"] {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

sry im kind of a potato but how do you change the length and width of the box without altering the scale?

sry im kind of a potato but how do you change the length and width of the box without altering the scale?

In OBS you would set the width and height in the source property, as dragging the corners for example would only change the scale (if that's what you mean).

My man, thank you so much

Updated code to kill the header:

.stream-chat-header, [data-test-selector="channel-leaderboard-container"] {
  display: none !important;
}

how can i add a good visibility to the chat text? for example my chat text is white, and my scene is also white rendering the chat text can't be seen.

Just change this line here to whatever color you want. In this case, the hex color below is black.

.chat-line__message {
    color: #000000;
}

Just change this line here to whatever color you want. In this case, the hex color below is black.

.chat-line__message {
    color: #000000;
}

Then there would be another problem that, when the video is black, the text also can't be seen. This way I have to keep changing the text color just to have a good visibility depending on the video's color as well

edit:
Nevermind, the stock css code works well with the visibility with the help of the text shadow. No modification needed

You could always get rid of the background transparency if you're concerned with text being unreadable on a variable background. You can either comment out this section of the code or change the background color to something you prefer.

html, body,
.room-selector, .room-selector__header,
.twilight-minimal-root, .tw-root--theme-light,
.popout-chat-page, .chat-room, .tw-c-background-alt,
.chat-container, .ember-chat-container {
    background: rgba(0,0,0,0)!important;
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0)!important;
}

Hello, the question is, how do I make a unique one for each user? I mean, so that the moderator has one background, the VIP has another background, and then

This should get rid of the "Gift the sub now to be #1!" message if anyone is still bothering to use this:

.channel-leaderboard-header-rotating__users, .tw-interactable > * {
  display: none!important;
}

I use this with extension.

how to remove the PINNED MESSAGE ON TOP?

And how do I add badges? I'm completely new to this, but it's something I really wanted to do. It's for my twitch chat. Help

how to remove the PINNED MESSAGE ON TOP?

.community-highlight-stack__card {
    display: none;
}

@Fxzzi thanks. added to the code.

Also i restructured comments a bit and gave more credits + added more code from forks. Wasn't really happy with it.
In addition, some stuff is now customizable through css variables at the top of the file so no need to search for it anymore (i hope unset; works in the OBS browser)

In the end, here's how I've gotten mine looking:

:root {
  --color-background-body: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}

/* fade animation for new messages */
@keyframes fadeInUp {
    0% {
        opacity: 0;
        transform: translateY(10px)
    }

    to {
        opacity: 1;
        transform: translateY(0)
    }
}

.chat-room {
    background: none !important
}


/*
Hide various parts of the site.
- chat input box
- "Welcome to the chat room!" text
- stream chat header
- scrollbars
- pinned messages
*/
.chat-input,
.chat-line__status,
.stream-chat-header,
.simplebar-track,
.community-highlight-stack__card,
img.chat-badge
{
    display: none !important;
}

/* Animation on new messages, other visual changes including text outline */
.chat-line__message {
    animation: fadeInUp .5s ease-out !important;
    font-size: 18pt !important;
    line-height: 100% !important;
    color: #c0caf5 !important;
    font-family: Noto Sans !important;
    text-shadow: -1px -1px 0 #1a1b26, 1px -1px 0 #1a1b26, -1px 1px 0 #1a1b26, 1px 1px 0 #1a1b26 !important;
    /* padding: .5rem 0rem 0.5rem 0rem  !important; */
}

EDIT: added code to hide scrollbar. Annoyed me when someone would send a new message and the scrollbar would show for a second before hiding again. Feel free to add to your gist, the class is .simplebar-track

Hello, I need help, I managed to place a badge, but I left it more ornate near the text box, but I already tried and couldn't position it.
Does anyone know how to do this?

->(Like I said, I don't really understand this, and I did my best.)<-

-image with example

-And this is the code I have (important note: I used this css code directly in @obs)

.badges {
display: {{badgesVisibility}};
position: relative;
height: {{badgeSize}}px 20;
width: {{badgeSize}}px 10;
min-width: {{badgeSize}}px10;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
margin-left: 5px;
}

.chat-badge{
display: flex;
float: left;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 100%;
min-width: var(--badge-box);
line-height: {{userSize}}px;
margin-top: auto;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
padding-bottom: 2px;
align-items: flex-start;
flex-direction: row-reverse;
background: transparent;
}

Like I said, I don't really understand this, and I did my best.
