In chat preferences there is a setting for:

Chat Console -

Fade after x # of seconds / x # of lines & a slider for text opacity.

Or is that just on Phoenix?

You can go to your Advanced menu (CTRL - Alt - D) and then look under the pulldown menu in Debug Settings for ChatPersistTime . The default setting for that variable is 20.0 seconds.  If you set it to a lower value, an individual chat line will fade faster, so you will have fewer chat lines on your screen at any given time.
