Description

Improve the UX/Design and structure:

  • List of participants on the left
  • Main chat on the right
  • Navbar with "Chat logo" and Name pluss "Settings" as dropdown
  • Responsive
  • Consider removing user colors and find some alternative solution. The issue is readability concerns regarding web accessibility colors.
  • Remove "date/time" from user name and add it on the right as Gitter have it.
  • Do a proper user test online to find out if everything is understandable (I could do that for example)

Research direction

The issue describes a broad chat-layout, navigation, readability, responsiveness, and user-testing redesign, but names no files or tests. First inspect the current chat-pane UI entry points and compare them with the requested participant list, chat area, navbar, timestamps, and accessible colors; done requires the agreed design changes plus an online usability test.
