MPGH IM Development Opinions | Phase 1

[[MPGH]Flengo]

Always said about any type of skin but add the light switch function for day/night users

I think the plan is to make some of the elements customizable by the user, and adding a dark mode should be simple enough to do with that. My next steps right now while taking input here is to setup a proper theme system with a dark mode.

Please add option to add user as favorite so it automatic stick to top.
Also please think about how can we get notification for messages if you are not logged in mpgh acc.
Also cool feature if you could customize your design and colors yourself.

See above for the design and colours part. As for adding a favourite user, think that functionality is doable. For notifications, they can be setup to get notifications through Chrome. Perhaps in the future this can be easily extended to the embedded chat as well. But definitely will be there for the dedicated web version.

Alright thanks for that, I'll try incorporating something like that and post an update

What we want is not a web application chatting system, we want a real application.

They'll both come after. Getting this done will make it accessible to everyone outside of MPGH. Building a desktop/mobile client after finishing this will be a lot easier to port.

Hes asking for UI ideas, so how would that look?

Please don’t change the current IM look, I love the way it is
Maybe a dark theme

I added the grouped contact lists. Let me know what you guys think about it so far. I'll update the images in my main post as things get updated as well.

Grouping is looking good! What you think about having tabs for the chats, like how it used to be on MSN, while chatting with 2 or more individual people, it would display a tab at the top of each conversation page.

Ye that @Yhmet said. We sellers are not intrested to go on IM all the time just to chat.
We want app on mobile phones you can download and all IM chats shows on that app and app sends notification like sky pe or other chatting app but just paired with IM chat

I'll work on incorporating some of your ideas in sometime tomorrow.

We understand that, however getting a dedicated web version out that works well on mobile devices is a higher priority since that will help with everyone's needs. It'll be a lot easier to get a mobile app out after this version as well. It shouldn't take much longer once this is completed.

Not sure if its UI base or its a Future but would be cool if it show if other side has received messege sometimes when i paste something ppl tell me i dident get it like a mark that show it has been send and a mark that show its readed sorry if its not UI based.
or allow us to put a note for each contact under name of it would be really help full as well.

Alright, so some of this stuff was difficult but I tried to incorporate most of the changes/ideas suggested.

1. I didn't change the colour of the notification badge since I think a pop of a brighter red helps there, also typical for notifications.
2. I made the unread notification badges the primary blue colour since that one seems to fit well there.
3. I think the highlighting of main channels was good, so I added that.
4. I added the send button and a button to go through emotes.
5. I left the app bar with Birdie the same since by coincidence that icon is what we use on MPGH and I think it's better to have there, since that's where the drawer opens up from as well.
6. I'm not really sure how to do the separation of chats/contacts. Also because you can search for both through that panel, might be redundant.
7. Changed some of the background colours.
8. The "bubbles" for the messages will stay as boxes since it's fitting with Material UI, it's using the Material UI Box component.
9. I'm a noob so I couldn't place the timestamps the way it was depicted in your picture. This was the best I could do, which might work out in the end since usernames need to be added there as well. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I don't think it looks like complete shit so might be okay
10. I left the icon in the top right unchanged since it's meant to be changed to a users avatar anyway.
