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.

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.

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?

Click the file to open
- App sets an automatic download directory, such as $HOME\Documents\Mattermost Files\
- Add an "open" button beside the download button on the right side of the file in the chat.
- When you click the "Open" button, if the file has not been downloaded, it will be automatically downloaded to the download folder in the first step. At the same time, the download progress bar will be displayed below the file in the chat. After the download is complete, or the file has been downloaded, call the system program to open the file.

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.

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…

Support preview of HEIF / HEIC images
Modern smartphones, iOS and Android based, save photos in HEIC instead of JPEG.
As of now, there's no preview support for HEIC encoded images. When people post photos taken on their smartphones, users currently have to download the photo to see it.
Therefore I suggest adding support of HEIC to the image previews feature.

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.

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!

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…

Make 'reply to last message in a channel' a default option
Enable the ability for a user org/admin to make 'reply to the last message in a channel' the default option when starting a new message, so threads are the default for a conversation. This could perhaps also be optionally limited to replies that explicitly start with or contain an 'at-mention' of the handle of the creator of the original post.

Make team tabs optional
The new wide tab bar steals useful screen real estate, introduces visual redundancy to our single-server setup (team name mentioned twice within a really small area of UI), and makes the app look even less at home on macOS. The old top of the window bar at least looked native. Please consider making the tab bar optional at least in single-server environments.

Button to minimize inline images (ex: GIFs plugin)
Users can minimize an image preview of an URL that is directly pasted in the message, with the cross button at the top left corner. However, there is no such button if the same image is inlined with the folowwing syntax .
It'd be useful to have a way of minimizing inline images, like Slack does and like Mattermost does for raw URL previews.
This is a follow-up on multiple requests from the users of moussetc/mattermost-plugin-giphy on GitHub (Issue 12).

Option to disable spell checking
Currently, spell checking is always enabled and cannot be disabled.
To some users, the red underlining is visually distracting. Also, the spell checker is currently unable to detect on-the-fly, in-sentence language switching, which is sometimes used in mixed-language teams or when discussing mixed-language subjects (like programming).
Therefore, I'd like to suggest adding an option to permanently disable spell checking - either in the configuration, or, in the input bar's context menu, where the spell check language is usually selected.
In the input bar it could look like this:
