Description
### Your use case
Sometimes I search something in e2ee rooms manually by scrolling through the history. To go back a long period, I do it very fast, so I don't see the date markers in the log. So to know, where I am in the past, I want an overlay which shows the current date.
#### What would you like to do?
Search manually in the history
#### Why would you like to do it?
Because searching in end2end encrypted chats is not possible. Also I think it is nice for readability/usability.
#### How would you like to achieve it?
An overlay rectangle with rounded borders which shows the current date (like on Signal/Whatsapp).
### Are you willing to provide a PR?
No
