Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When a guild member log in, the icon shape and color are intuitive and easy to recognize.
But when online friends log in, nothing changes.
I want my online friends to be intuitively visible in the chat window when they are online & offline.
In MerathilisUI version 5.1x,

L["ERR_FRIEND_ONLINE"] = "has come |cff298F00online|r."
L["ERR_FRIEND_OFFLINE"] = "has gone |cffff0000offline|r."
L["BN_INLINE_TOAST_FRIEND_ONLINE"] = " has come |cff298F00online|r."
L["BN_INLINE_TOAST_FRIEND_OFFLINE"] = " has gone |cffff0000offline|r.."

These commands changed the color of the chat window. As the version was upgraded, these disappeared.
But I can't forget MerathilisUI when it had these features. It was very useful for me.

It would be nice if it could be seen intuitively when a battl.net friend accesses, just like when a guild member accesses.

@Merathilis
Thank you so much for adding the function I requested so quickly.
I downloaded the development version and checked out the features.

Message delay occurs as shown in the screenshot.
There is a delay when my friend is online or offline. Sometimes there is no delay.
There was no delay when the guild member accessed or exited.

  1. The icon not be rendered?
  2. Currently there are two types alert: guild member alert and bnet friend alert. Because of the guild member message also have been enhanced, so I disabled the alert that the player is in your guild to avoid duplicated showing. The BNet friend status changed event which is sent from Blizzard is always a little bit delayed. There is no better solution now.

  1. Yes. I can see a green icon in front of my friends battle tag.
  2. Personally, I liked the way it was displayed up until the last MerathilisUI 5.26 version, because it was simple.
    Now that the code has changed a lot, is it impossible to make it look the way it used to?

@ILIKECHICKENTOOMUCH
The code is completely rewritten.
Actually, the alert about blizzard is really different:

before

  1. Blizzard friend goes online.
    • Blizzard send this to game chat, Mera's stuff enhances the message in chat
  2. Blizzard friend's WoW character goes online message.
    • No this feature

now

  1. Blizzard friend goes online.
    • Blizzard send this to game chat, no more enhancement now
  2. Blizzard friend's WoW character goes online
    • The addon check the Blizzard's information when Blizzard told addon that the Blizzard friend's status has been changed.
    • If the status not same with cache, the addon will generate a message and send it to chat.
