Most elements, apart from chevrons, now have explicit
font sizes.
In some cases I chose integer values that were close
to the calculated values you would get with all the
ratio calculations.
And then I tweaked how the hashtag/lock icons get
aligned.
The alignment for those icons if off in this version; it'll be fixed
in an upcoming commit.
The fonts there used to be 14.2px due to an arcane
calculation. Now we explicity set a value.
If you expand Private Messages, the font inside now
is explicitly set to 13px. It used to be 12.8px due
to a complex calculation.
This is a fairly big commit, but at the end
it simplifies a lot of things.
It's difficult to fix highly coupled code in
incremental steps because, well, it's highly
coupled code.
The main thing this does is give each type of
chevron in the left sidebar its own class
* all-messages-arrow (NEW)
* stream-sidebar-arrow
* topic-sidebar-arrow
Before this change, the "All messages" chevron
was using stream-sidebar-arrow, which was a
strange name for something that's not actually
in the stream sidebar. Obviously this was
cargo culted.
There was not much JS to change here--we just
fix the click handler for "All messsages".
And then there's a one-line change to the template,
and the rest is re-organizing the CSS.
Using a more specific class avoids confusion related
to the .arrow class, which is not only a popover concept,
but also a Zulip concept in the left sidebar.
The way we build chevrons is super messy and highly
coupled. This comment reflects an audit I did on the
code in its current state.
Subsequent commits will make things a bit easier to
understand.
We could arguably just use zero-unreads everywhere,
but we definitely don't want zero-topic-unreads
inside our PM list.
I prefer to just have these two concepts:
zero-pm-unreads
zero-topic-unreads
And it's super easy to share CSS properties for both.
The antialiasing decisions we made for the webapp should be constant
over the entire page, not limited to particular subsections or themes.
If we wanted antialiasing, we should do it on the entire page, not
individual random widgets. But it's not clear we actually want to do
it on the entire page. The `-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale`
setting now happens by default in OSX Mojave (40% world market share
right now and growing), so there's no reason to override it. And
without retina displays, generally, subpixel rendering provides better
results than antialiasing (which overrides subpixel rendering).
Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for advice on this issue.
This is mostly adding markup, calling some convenient
functions in buddy_data.js, and adjusting CSS.
To make the circles update dynamically, I mostly
orchestrate this though activity.js for now. It's
possible we'll want to adjust that eventually to
happen through something like a `presence_events`
dispatcher, but that's essentially what
a good part of `activity.js` does now.
This fixes a longstanding UI issue when you have way too many recent
private message conversations, as you can now scroll down the list to
find what you're looking for.
Fixes#5384.
The padding changes move the number a bit to the right and down, towards
where the bottom right corner of an unread count box would have been. This
makes the number look better aligned with the unread count boxes above it.
We want the search widget, when visible, to be
outside the scroll container for the stream list.
One obvious use case is if you start scrolling, and
then realize it might be less effort to search.
Also, for user search, it already worked this way.
We have to add a couple resizing hooks here, but
it's not necessary to change the actual resize
calculation, since we move the section inside
of #streams_header, which is already accounted
for.
The only markup change here is to add
a `stream_search_section` class. I don't
know why we use `notdisplayed` here instead of
jQuery, or what `input-append` is for, but I
considered them outside the scope of this change.
We can also remove some crufty CSS that was
compensating for it being inside the container.
First, we are not removing Group PMs from the
right sidebar, where most people see it.
There is a setting called:
[ ] User list in left sidebar in narrow windows
There are probably very few people that turn that on,
and even when they do, the setting only takes effect
when your window is less than a certain width.
This feature bitrots very quickly, because very few
core maintainers use it.
It's already kind of broken. It gets very crowded,
and we get CSS bugs when we move the right sidebar
into the left sidebar. (We can fix those bugs, but
they crop up unexpectedly due to the nature of CSS.)
We historically tried to maintain a ratio between
stream list, single-user buddy list, and group-user
buddy list, but the group-user buddy list gets
particularly crowded out, and it's basically useless
now.
We want to revisit the entire feature eventually, but
this commit at least gives the normal buddy list some
breathing room.
Also, if you need to see the info in the group PM
list, you can basically expand "Private Messages" to
see your recent group PM conversations. And if you
want to see who's actually online, that info is
already implicit from the normal buddy list.
The name `bottom_sidebar` was misleading, because it
includes the entire "normal" left sidebar.
It includes the 4 narrow links at the top plus the
stream/topic list.
We now call is narrows_panel.
Note that the left sidebar sometimes also includes
the user list (with a display setting turned on).
And it will eventually include other views.
We also remove an intermediate value in the resize
calculations.
Having a tiny bit of margin below the stream list
makes it possible to see the bottom of the scrollbar.
It also makes it so that the scrollbar activates
for a tiny range of list sizes where before the
last element would have been right up against the
bottom of the page, but we wouldn't scroll.
The border makes the alignment look nicer. Without
a border your eyes plays tricks on you and makes it
seem like numbers are not in the same column.
The border color is the same subtle color as the
backgrounds in others.
Because CSS is annoying, you have to tweak the padding
to make room for the border.
(It should look ok in night mode, too.)
This is likely not the "right" fix in that it involved a negative
margin, but this does eliminate an annoying visual glitch where the
scrollbar overflows above its container in the left sidebar, without
creating other apparent problems.
Fixes#8731.
This fixes a UI bug where if a user had a lot of recent private
message threads, they'd take over the entire left sidebar.
This was caused by not setting the max height of users list in private
message container.
Fixes: #5384.
This updates the unread pills in the left and right sidebar
to look better at a wide range of zoom values. (It doesn't change
their appearance at all.)
This commit transitions all styles in app.css in the Django pipeline
to being compiled by webpack in an app-styles bundle, and renames the
various files to now be processed as SCSS.
To implement this transition, we move the old CSS file refernces in
settings.py and replace them with a bundle declared in
`webpack.assets.json` and includedn in the index.html template
Tweaked by tabbott to keep the list of files in `app.css` in
`webpack.assets.json`, and to preserve the ordering from the old
`settings.py`.
