People modify animationDuration because they want a snappy client.
But it also affects a few things that do not contribute to that
and should remain constant speed:
- Busy indicator
- Progress bar animation
- Ping indicator in AddAccount ServerBrowser
- Image rotation button cooldown
The banners shown in place of the composer for invited and left rooms
suffered from numerous problems due to being written very long ago and
untouched since then: unflexible components, layout glitching at certain
size, and focus issues.
These elements have been reimplemented as part of the Composer using
standard components, handle lack of space/width much better and
correctly take focus when switching rooms or the room's state changes.
Other note, the inviter's avatar is no longer shown in place of where
the current writing user is currently shown, to maintain consistency and
keep an indication of which account the user is acting as.
The inviter's profile should be available in the right pane, but nio
apparently doesn't give us member events for invited rooms.
Helps users new to Matrix in knowing what to click, as the direct chat
option explicitely creates a 1-to-1 experience, while "create room"
(now "create group") could be also be used as such but asks for more
details and wouldn't mark the room as direct.
The content of the tabs still say "room" as that is the correct general
term for anything that contains one or more user.
Rather than leaving the room as soon as the button is clicked.
This offers the option of also forgetting that room, and will allow
checking a future "ignore inviter" too.
AddChat and AccountSettings:
- When clicking the cancel button, if there's no previous back to go
back to, focus the main pane instead of doing nothing
AccountSettings:
- Always enable the cancel button, not just when the form has been
modified
AddChat, AccountSettings, ServerBrowser:
- Pressing escape will do the same thing as clicking the cancel button
In "mobile mode" where main pane is hidden due to application's width:
- Show a back button in the tab bar of the AccountSettings and
AddChat pages
- Show a back button in the address field (opposite to the "next
button") of the ServerBrowser, unless there are no accounts added yet
(application first run) and the main pane would be empty
When the currently shown page is the chat of a certain room,
prevent that room from moving around in the left pane due to new
messages/activity or unread/highlight counters change.
When the user switches to another page/room, the previously held lock is
released and that room completes all the moves it would have done if it
wasn't locked.
This makes navigating a room list with lots of activity easier, and
prevent annoyances like clicking on a room with unread messages and
having it immediatly fly down the list (possibly out of scroll view).
This reverts commit 39f159f0a3.
Causes problems when message delegates are reordered, with the
transition animations randomly stopping in the middle and leaving
delegates at odd positions.
In the notification push rules UI:
- When the notify button for a rule (blue +1) is toggled off, show
all other action buttons as toggled off too
- When clicking on another action while notify is off, enable notify and
that action
Fix refresh and sign out keybinds that were broken, and rename
these in settings.py:
- Keys.Sessions.refresh → Keys.Security.refresh
- Keys.Sessions.sign_out_checked_or_all → Keys.Security.sign_out
