⚠️ Heads Up

Since this is the first PR for this repo and I'm not sure if there's a plan to hold custom 'experimental' themes inside it I've decided to proactively move my work on this theme to a public repository in my personal account: https://github.com/clins777/texts-minimalist-theme

I'll leave this PR open until I get a reply and then go from there 🫰🏼

Overview

A minimalist theme that attempts to strip down the chatting experience to the very basics

Tested mainly on dark theme with bubble mode off

Side bar

  • hide all, unread, archive tabs
  • hide time stamps in each message
  • resize each user height to 40px (only tested with hidden previews)
  • fixed side bar width to 180px, resizing sometimes wasn't working
  • hide scroll bar

Chat

  • align sender's content to the right
  • hide dates in chat wherever they appear
  • hide various input commands near where you type message
  • hide 'seen by' avatars
  • hide the avatar + contact's name title on the top
  • hide placeholder text in the message input by making it transparent
  • hide non is-diff-sender gaps
  • hide unread divider
  • message flex direction is row instead of column so that reactions are on the left
  • reactions are centered vertically to the right
  • hide message reply sender names
  • hide scroll bar

Others

Any other more minimalist ideas for this theme are more than welcome 🤗

README

  • added 'experiments' section to readme
  • added short 'minimalist' theme description to experiments section
