Can you make the twitch chat pop-up be a small window like this:

Instead of the huge one we get on a new tab?

Sorry, this is not possible...
Someone already asked this a while ago #9 (comment)

Detailed explanation:
I'm not opening the chat inside a new NW.js window, because I don't want the application to become a browser within a browser. This is not also a big security risk (although it's possible to disable the nodejs/io.js context for new frames), but also not what the user expects when clicking links in chat, etc. The only solution to this right now is opening the chat in the user's default browser, but you're not able to control the look of the browser's window. You're basically just telling the OS to open a specific link in the default browser. What you probably mean is this (window.open), but that's how you open new windows on a regular website. If you knew the user's default browser and the path to the executable, you could to this, but this is a little bit out of scope.
