cosmetic enhancement suggestions

[yorickvP]

Hey, nice project! It looks good and I got it to work reliably (with electron, for now, fixes the SSL problems too). It's really fast, too!

I played around with it for a bit and made an opinionated list of things that I would change. Maybe I'll pull-request some.

• overlayed side panel should disappear when the outside is clicked (like the app)
• overlay side panel should drag in/out like on android. would work very well on my touchscreen.
• overlay side panel could be transparent (custom theme support)
• when side panel is folded away (not overlaid), the entire sidebar should be clickable to toggle it
• amount of space for nick size should be adjustable (like in desktop)
• channel list should toggle when quassel logo in menu bar is clicked (or, when in wide mode, menu should toggle?)
• ability to hide menu bar, it's too big. vertical space is limited on laptop screens. maybe move functionality into the channel list for this. move logout button into options menu? I never log out.
• in the channel list, network name should 'pin' to top when it would scroll offscreen so you can see what network you're on when you see what channel you're on
• channel name (and network) should be in document.title
• mirror nick hilighting from the desktop client, if they don't already. I have an implementation lying around somewhere.
• show/hide network buffers.
• show progress while connecting
• set fake topic in queries

Thanks for all your hard work on this!

• Already exists (in general config wheelcog): mirror nick hilighting from the desktop client, if they don't already. I have an implementation lying around somewhere.
• See Ability to edit chat lists #187 show/hide network buffers.
• show progress while connecting. Would require a lot of modifications on libquassel, so really low priority.

I'm implementing some of this on yorickvP/quassel-webserver, feel free to cherry-pick the interesting stuff, for now I'm not completely focussing on mergability. I'll check off what's done there.
