I added an up/down arrow button next to the message box that toggles the size of the box between two quick settings: a small setting (about 5 lines tall), and a large setting (maximum size).

To add this to your own UI layout, add this code under the WORLD_MESSAGES menu in UI.menu:

SoD code:

	button
	{
		enabled "worldMessageBoxTop < 0"
		area 857 203 45 48
		bam GUISV10
		sequence 1
		on c
		action
		"
			dragMessagesY(2000)
			dragMessagesY(-92)
		"
	}
	button
	{
		enabled "worldMessageBoxTop >= 0"
		area 857 203 45 48
		bam GUISV10
		sequence 0
		on c
		action
		"
			dragMessagesY(-2000)
		"
	}

BG2 code:

	button
	{
		enabled "worldMessageBoxTop < 0"
		area 857 208 45 48
		bam GUISV10
		sequence 1
		on c
		action
		"
			dragMessagesY(2000)
			dragMessagesY(-92)
		"
	}
	button
	{
		enabled "worldMessageBoxTop >= 0"
		area 857 202 45 48
		bam GUISV10
		sequence 0
		on c
		action
		"
			dragMessagesY(-2000)
		"
	}

You can customize the size settings by playing with the dragMessagesY values to find a setting that works for you.

I've also added a quick key (C), which you can remove or change by deleting or editing the two "on c" lines in the code.
