Example

DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:SetFadeDuration(15);

Result

Changes the fade duration for lines added or updated to 15 seconds (very slow fade).

Details

SetFadeDuration(seconds) doesn't affect already visible lines, unless these are updated.

A way to update them is to call one of the Scroll methods.

The default fade duration seems to be 3 seconds.
