[Suggestion] Some personal suggestions

[Xwdit]

Hi, thank you very much for bringing such a wonderful extension to the Flarum community ;)

Here are some small personal suggestions maybe can make this extension more perfect:

• Maybe you can add more ways to open the chat (different styles of minimization) ? Such as integrating with the navigation bar at the tight-top, adding a button on the side, etc.
• Maybe you can allow the user/admin to set the initial position of the chat bar, and drag to change the position of the chat bar in the minimized state
• Maybe you can support custom colors and/or night mode for the chat interface?
• Maybe you can add the ability of sticking/favorite messages?
• How about adding a sponsor link? So that we can support you in the development of this amazing extension ;)

Hi, thanks for your suggestions. I give my opinion:

• There are enough ways to minimize the chat at the moment. The only use case when a button may be needed is to open a separate browser frame with a chat. This will be its separate view mode of the chat in the future.
• The chat does not move so widely as to set its initial state. This is purely a user setting. Maybe the problem is that it overlaps something? I also do not see the point of moving a minimized chat, in this mode it is difficult to understand how to pose it
• You can choose custom colors in the sources in resources/less/colors.less or even redefine them with custom less file. It may be worth, in principle, to reconsider the use of colors and remove the accented pink, but then it will no longer be neon chat. Yes, night mode will be added.
• Sticking and favorite messages also in the roadmap
• You can support me on Patreon

I came here to leave some suggestion as well. But I guess it's already mentioned as @Xelson said.

Could you perhaps point me to a documentation page where I can read up on how I can interact with the chat window? Per se, can I open the chat window on click of a button?

Also, is there a way to change the default icon of the chat launch button? Perhaps I could add some text there as well?

Any help would be appreciated.
