Create color themes that use OS native colors
Electron has several API functions for retrieving specific native colors from the operating system. The main function that does this is
systemPreferences.getColor(color)
, but additional features are provided bysystemPreferences.getAccentColor()
andsystemPreferences.getSystemColor(color)
. I'm not familiar with any examples of applications that have actually used these functions, but they could be especially nice on macOS Big Sur, where the system colors can be "vibrant"; that is, system colors vary slightly based on wallpaper tinting. Supporting native system colors could help the Mattermost desktop app feel even more at home in various desktop environments.You can find the functions in question…

inverted chat window configurable
This would not be only for the app. It is more a general thing for the appearance.
I would like to have a setting which gives me the option to invert the chat winodw. What i mean in detail with that is that the chat input would be on top. New messages would appear on top aswell and i have to scroll down to read older messages instead of up.

Keep images collapsed when scrolling up
Often when I'm scrolling up in a chat, I'll lose my place b/c images suddenly start loading. Since images are now collapsible, it'd be awesome if unloaded ones (i.e., the ones further up in the chat) would stay collapsed until you manually expand them.

Delete channels
Hello,
I would like to have the possibility that channels whether private or public can be permanently deleted by system administrators.
So you can save resources in the database and keep a better overview of the remaining channels.6 votes -

Audio Volume Control
I've found that the volume level for notifications in the app can quite loud compared to other apps. Is it possible to add some internal setting that allows for scaling the volume of notifications?

Don't cover message text with the hover toolbar buttons
When I point at a message, a group of about 4 icons appears at the top right of the message. My annoyance is that this icon group covers part of the text of the message I'm trying to read. Please reposition this button group so that it does not obscure the text.

Allow a user list in the right-hand side bar
The right hand sidebar for the Mattermost client seems to only support searching. Many chat-apps like Slack, Discord, and others include a list of users in the current channel in a sidebar that can be displayed at all times. I think this would be a great feature!

Get alerted when the status of another user changes
I would like to get alerted when another user comes online.
In the proprietary messaging application that is also used in our organization, this feature is available as a right-click menu item labeled "Tag for Status Change Alerts", i.e. you can switch on/off alerts per user. I have always found it very useful so it would be a nice addition to Mattermost.

Enable Notifications when Mattermost is not Visible to the User
If a chat is selected when the desktop app is not visible or minimized, the user will not receive notifications for any new messages sent within the chat.
For example, If I am talking to Bob, then I shrink the desktop app with his name still selected in the left hand pane, or I open a new window and cannot see the Mattermost app, it wont notify me of a new message from Bob unless I make sure to click on a different chat window with someone else prior to moving my attention away from Mattermost.
I understand we wouldnt…

memorize login
I installed last v4.3.2 mattermost-desktop on my Ubuntu 18 laptop. I didn't find any solution to memorize my logins, so each morning, I have to enter it.

Add filter to show only channels with unread messages (or recent activity)
I like Mattermost but frequently the list of collaborators gets long and I have to scroll between active chats.
I think a filter feature would be useful to show only certain chats, e.g.
- channels with unread messages
- filter by textCombined with "pinned channels" this would help to focus on the active stuff even without giving Mattermost an entire (large) screen.

Allow me to customize my ignore mentions list for notifications
Currently we can set notifications to
Ignore mentions for @channel, @here and @all
. I would like to customize that list, much like the opposite of the user settings for triggering mentions.3 votes -
Option to setup the ping warning before sending @here or @channe

Option to allow hiding the server tabs bar
I would love to be able to hide the top server tabs bar on my single-server setup. Lots of wasted space when I don't have any other servers. I like to have the window fairly small, sort of old-school instant-messaging style, and when I do, 5% of the height of the window is taken up by the tabs bar (yes, I'm that kind of person where I measured the height of my window in pixels and the height of the tabs bar using GIMP).
Even if I were connected to other servers, I could switch servers using a keyboard shortcut…

Snooze channel for 1h, 8hrs or 24hhrs
It would be nice to be able to mute a channel for a set period of time then it automatically unmute itself. Facebook Messenger has a similar feature called Snooze.
