<ul></ul><p>Going over mentionned issues to give more context / initial leads on how to fix them. We're speaking of riot-web here.</p>

<p>Disabling sublists looks doable at first glance, and should not be too hard to implement.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>disable color differentiation for each user name: make them all same, muted color.</li>

<li>Disabling it is trivial. I don't have a strong opinion on this => I think a configuration checkbox would be best.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Afaics this refers to the avatar - maybe an option to disable avatars all together</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>There is a compact mode under "General > Theme", which is more compact but kind of weird since it does not disable avatars. I think it could be improved (should not be hard from the code I read).</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Numbers of unread messages on channels are not helpful
<ul>
<li>Proposed solution: Indicate unread by bold only, remove the number count</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<p>That's already the case when you select "Mentions only" notifications for a room. See <a class="external" href="https://paste.gnugen.ch/raw/oh70">https://paste.gnugen.ch/raw/oh70</a></p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>When creating a new public room the "room alias" field is empty and needs to be filled in manually
<ul>
<li>This should be automatically derived from the name as a suggestion</li>
</ul></li>

<p>Somewhere is this file: <a class="external" href="https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/develop/src/components/views/dialogs/CreateRoomDialog.js">https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/develop/src/components/views/dialogs/CreateRoomDialog.js</a></p>
<p>Should not be hard.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>When inviting people to a room, local people (@xx:ungleich.ch) show up for a second and then vanish until I type the full name
<ul>
<li>i.e. typing @xx - shows the name, I want to select it, it vanishes</li>
<li>other people from other matrix servers are shown as suggested</li>
<li>then finishing @xx:ungleich.ch shows it again</li>
<li>Solution: don't make it show and vanish, but keep it</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Looks like a bug, which sounds familiar (I likely encountered it a few times).</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Too much margin between text groups damage readability
<ul>
<li>While chatting, the vertical spaces between texts are too high and waste space. </li>
<li>The horizonal space between profile picture and the name is too wide, makes it harder for eyes to coherently follow who wrote what.</li>
<li>Time of writing is not shown by default and only reveals on mouseover, requires extra movement for catching information. </li>
<li>Having to jump big spaces between different information (who wrote it what, when) makes it hard for the eyes to focus.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>See compact timeline layout mention above.</p>
<p>=> Most of the suggestions require fine-tuning and no big changes. The riot-web / matrix-react-sdk code is easy to navigate.</p>
