Group Compact Panel

Compact floating panel for SillyTavern group chats.

It mirrors the standard group member actions in a smaller floating UI, so you can quickly:

• open a character card
• trigger Speak
• Enable or Disable automatic replies
• see which character is currently active
• see queue order colors at a glance
• drag the panel to a different place on the screen

How It Works

The compact panel proxies actions from the standard #rm_group_members list instead of reimplementing them.

This keeps behavior aligned with the built-in group panel:

• avatar click opens the standard character management flow
• Speak triggers the same standard action button
• Enable and Disable trigger the same standard action buttons
• queue state is read from the standard group member DOM state
• queue colors are assigned by queue position in the compact panel itself

The panel listens for group and chat changes, and also watches the standard group member list with a MutationObserver so queue highlights stay in sync during generation.

Dragging

The panel can be repositioned by dragging the small handle at the top-left.

• position is saved in localStorage
• position is clamped to the viewport
• normal avatar and action button clicks are unaffected

Notes

• Queue colors follow queue position: active #1 is green, then queued members use yellow, blue, purple, and orange for the next visible positions.
• The panel is hidden when no group is selected or when the current group has no members.
• The compact panel is intentionally minimal and depends on the standard group member panel for the underlying actions.
• The compact panel uses its own visual styling and does not rely on the standard .group_member styling for queue highlights.
