Small UI Improvements for the guests view

Open schiessle opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

Tested with Nextcloud 29rc on c.nc.com

Sorry, if this is some kind of a "summary tickets", but most things are rather small details so that I don't want to open separate tickets. We all use Nextcloud every day as logged in users, therefore we might sometimes forget how it looks for external people. But exactly this view is often the first time users experience Nextcloud Talk. So it is crucial for giving a good first impression.

If a user wait in the lobby the view looks like this:

I think the "Edit" button looks somehow disconnected to the display name and people might wonder what they actually edit by clicking on the button.

The same is true when you joined the room:

I also wonder if the "conversation settings" in the "..."-menu makes sense as guest users can't change anything there and it doesn't really contain useful information. On the other hand it might be quite confusing to have two settings.

In general the right sidebar looks quite minimalistic with just three elements below each other. I wonder if the elements could be arranged in a more visual appealing way and like mentioned above connect the "edit" button better to the display name?

As a larger change, I wonder if it would make sense to show more information in the sidebar also for guests? Most other solutions also show guests the list of participants, speaking time, etc.

Can discuss some details of it, but the modal should stay and be accessible in order to be able to read the full description etc.

We are discussing that in another place atm
