Make read receipt less obtrusive #155

Open Gnorv opened 1 year ago

Gnorv commented 1 year ago

Current State

As it is now read receipts take up a lot of space and add a lot of fuzzyness to the UI experience. All the colours and the fact of them being the lowest part in the message box makes them too prominent in my opinion. Untitled

Proposed State

Convert read receipt into well known check mark symbols from other applications. One check mark means it has been received by someone. Two check marks means it has been seen by someone. Checkmark from here [By Shazz and Gregory Maxwell - Own work, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=812001] just as an example. Untitled2

Additionally, if the info about who exactly saw the messages is desired the checkmarks can be clickable/hoverable to show the previous list. Untitled3
