UI polish

[pascalandr]

Find ways to make the UI more minimalist and less cumbersome. example : default to simpler UI no tools in timeline very few thing expanded in messages, hide shortcuts. Maybe some items can appear only in rollover. More icons/ less words ?

• overlay buttons are annoying as they prevent you to access other buttons underneath
• feat(ui): add Simple chat appearance #494 ?

so I'm not sure what you are pointing at, is it about the overlay buttons, annoying when they prevent you to access other buttons underneath or about spaces between timeline items, or green item ?

overlay buttons (for the reason you stated). they could be placed differently and it wouldn't block the view.

You mean the auto scroll to top and bottom buttons?
If yes, any ideas?

I would remove the overlay buttons entirely and instead place the scroll-to-top / scroll-to-bottom buttons at the extremities of the message pane scrollbar, on the right side of the window. Small dedicated buttons attached to the scrollbar track, so they stay discoverable without covering the content.
