Many of Prat's awesome features are completely undiscoverable, and others may not be completely obvious. Let's make a little guide/reference pane for folks and keep it up to date with current features.

  1. Point out how to add/remove/reorder channels
  2. Quick guide to our markdown variant
  3. @username callouts and their behavior (also mention tab-completion).
  4. #foobar room links
  5. Shortcuts (at least point out that ? will show the shortcut list, or this can be part of the same info pane)
  6. Explain what 'away' means

Can you guys take a look? The user preferences icon (gear) is non-functional right now, but everything else should be ready. Feel free to make whatever modifications to the text in the user guide.

How about toning down the font size for the control buttons a bit (2px down to 18px so it's not as in your face). The container should also be set to width: 93% to keep it from running into the messages view on the right.

Here's a mock up of the changes: Screen Shot 2013-01-30 at 1 13 26 PM

We ended up restyling them to be in a different place. Check it out again.
