[Suggestion] Highlight channel tabs on new messages
[Suggestion] Highlight channel tabs on new messages
I have another suggestion. Whenever the new message arrives to the channel that is not a current channel that the user is in, the tab should get highlighted with some color. General channel is the one that the users land in when they open a generator, and they tend to spend most of their time there, ignoring other channels. It often leads to people posting questions to General instead of appropriate channels simply because these other channels are ignored. It can sometimes get disturbing when people start talking about 18+ topics in General instead of appropriate one. General should be kept for general discussion. I think that this feature would be a good step toward guiding users to appropriate channels without other users gnawing at them.
P.S. Report message feature was much needed, thanks for implementing it. A slight nitpick - the shadow/blur in it can be more transparent. In light mode, it does not fit well.
Thank you! :)
Let me ping through comment as well - @[email protected].
Thanks for the suggestion! I've added a feature to the t2i-framework plugin so the comments have a little red notification icon thing when new messages come in. The one catch right now is that you have to have visited the channel at least once to start getting that 'unread' notification icon. I've also added the ability to add side modules if you're on desktop/laptop (i.e. wide screen) so you can have multiple channels open+visible at once.
