Guide on how to change the text bubble size in the World of Warcraft?

The World of Warcraft is still a popular MMORPG, even in 2023. However, players have expressed their dissatisfaction with the chat bubble UI. The chat bubbles cannot be changed by using add-ons; it will keep showing you the same errors that add-ons cannot be used with Garrisons and dungeons.

The default chat bubble with a border and opaque background can annoy the players sometimes, as it clusters up on top of your character's head. It may even cover your health bar and does not allow you to see how much life you gain or lose.

To change the chat bubble, you have to visit the 'tukui' website and click on the drive link present at the bottom of the page. You will find a zip file there which you have to download. Now follow the steps below to alter your chat bubbles.

1. Once you have downloaded the zip file, extract all the folders you want in a separate folder.
2. Now open the World of Warcraft folder and the _retail_ folder.
3. Open the Interface folder and create a new folder named Tooltips if you do have that available in your system already.
4. Open the Tooltips folder. Drag and drop the '.BLP' files from the folder of the chat style that you want to use in the game.

Now, all you have to do is restart World of Warcraft, go to your Garrison, and type something in the chat. The modified chat bubble will be visible above your character's head.

If it is still not working in your system, go to the game menu and click on ElvUI. Make sure that the chat bubble style is disabled in your system. If it is not done, the game will think you are using the default Blizzard chat bubble style instead of the one you installed. This style can be used in any gameplay mode, such as PvP battles, raids, dungeons, etc.
