You say "by default", but is there a way to remain on the old room list? For my usage I find this (v1.12.0) a significant UX downgrade, even after looking through settings a lot, trying to mitigate it somehow. |
|
@vcunat you can disable it in Settings > Labs only if your instance has |
I think for me one of the filters (Unreads/People/Rooms) was suddenly selected by default and me never using it, I didn't realize that I can just unselect them and it confused me massively. after toggling beta settings they were unchecked though. anyway, maybe you experience something similar? |
|
I only see "Video rooms" and "Notification Settings" in the labs. |
|
@vcunat sounds like your instance lacks this:
There are many options available in labs with that option enabled. |
|
My instance, as in https://app.element.io or matrix.org? Anyway, my "problem" is that there are veeery many rooms. So I was permanently in a room view (icons only on the left) where I had the "favorite" rooms first and underneath the normal rooms from which only a couple last-active could fit – and the rest would get visible by simple scrolling. Now I'd apparently have to expand the filter list and adjust filters whenever I wanted to have a look. Also the room list takes a few times more width than before. It can't be reduced to just icons anymore, which hurts me especially when viewing threads. Well sure, I could start maximizing the Element window whenever I do something like that... |
|
app.element.io, matrix.org is your (presumably) chosen Matrix homeserver. As you can see on http://app.element.io/config.json |
|
@vcunat It can still be disabled for now on app.element.io if devtools are enabled ( |
I agree, the new room list is a major downgrade in terms of usability. It might look cleaner, but it removes significant functionality. You can no longer have in one screen/view the 3 groups (Favorites/People/Rooms) you had before (without having to click anywhere to see the stuff you want), with the option to show more/less rooms for each group and also can no longer show message previews. I've disabled the new room list for now, but I am afraid this option will be removed in the future, making Element unusable for me. |
This isn't true...

@JohnDepon There is a just-opened issue for groups/sections instead of filters you might be interested in |

is the option gone, to hide the "room name"? |
This PR forces on the new room list for app/develop and fixes the tests that used to depend on the old room list
