Hi XMPP-folks,

just check-out my suggestion for the monal chat window.

EDIT: I reallocated the pictures to improve comparing both.

This is the current allocation of time stamp and delivery status (on the left and right) and I saw it at a friends phone and thought its pretty chaotic. In the right picture is what I would suggest to tidy up a little bit:

I also added a small corner-angle connecting line, to link the information with the bubble.

In the last message I tested how ticks would look like. I personally prefer the text-based status, because it is more clear what's acutally happening. One arrow could mean anything but not just 'Delivered' in the XMPP galaxy.

Please treat this as low-priority (reagrding OMEMO, push & MAM). However, would be happy to so see something in the master one day!

Cheers

Hi,

as I see the current delevelopment, I would like to remind of this and also suggest to replace the encryption lock symbol also shown as in this screenshot (and not in the text bubble):

Looking forward!

Another thing to improve:

Lock

I should look material in white only to keep the general design consistency

This is already implemented by now!

Actually I haven't seen the corrections at my colleagues friend screen really. But, it's fine, not a priority.

Things have improved a lot. @Echolon do you think we could close this bug and file new bugs for the remaining issues (lock icon) to keep things focused.

Hi,

actually, no. I think not, at least not in a manner that shows the information less chaotic.

You rather can add you UI request from today here I think. #343

In general older issues are prefered to new ones I would say

Could you create a checklist of open issue in the issue description so it's clear which issues are open and which ones are done.

Messages from MAM have known dates, which should be displayed too, even if content can't be decrypted.

Hi @poormusic2001 ,

maybe, once you finished your current works, this could be something to work on, if you find motivation. Maybe also see the open issues linked here.
But its not a prio, dont know what else is on your list.
