Firstly, thank you for such an excellent product :)

The recent introduction of dark mode for Signal on MacOS has been great, however the app's styling isn't quite consistent with the latest native MacOS app guidelines. I understand that there's a chance this might be due to using some cross-platform SDK, and the limitations of such SDK.

Regardless, it would be great if the Signal app looked more "native", similar to Apple's Messages app (screenshot provided below). This includes (but not limited to) using translucency, as well as the more integrated top menu bar design (traffic lights, search bar etc).

Despite it's a desktop app, it doesn't use desktop environment sdk (didn't I miss smth in new electron versions?). Design is more like a web page

Thanks for the reply :) I now have a better understanding of Signal Desktop.

I'd like to now clarify this feature request:

Can I please propose that in future, Signal Desktop be re-worked using native MacOS SDK.

I understand that this would be a long-term goal, but it would be fantastic if this could be achieved down the track. The app would be more responsive, the notifications improved, and the interface more refined. Thanks for your time.
