There is another mod called Chicchai that also minimizes the chat window.

This add-on breaks up a lot of the system messages (the yellow ones) into groups, which you can then decide to send to different chat windows, change the color of them or simply mute them. It also breaks up various other messages, like the guild messages (normal, officer and MotD), into their own groups, so you can set which chat windows they should show in and in what colors.
