Design and Documentation In Progress
Important Links
Since a number of elements will be removed from the Channel Header, it will be refreshed to work with the rest of the layout.
The following changes will be made to the channel header:
Remove Global-level App Icons
All apps that currently reside in the Channel Header will move to the Apps Bar as the new home for apps.
Add a new ‘Meet’ button
If video conference apps are configured for the user/server, a new ‘Meet’ button displays in the Channel Header.
Clean up and arrange remaining icons and controls
Shorten the height of the Channel Header to 56px (now matches Right Sidebar Header)
Add a new secondary bar for Channel Header description
NOTE: The RHS’s header will need to match the height of the main channel header bar (see screenshot below)
Channel Header Variants
Channel
The standard header for channels. Below shows two states for when the header text is set or not.
DM
The updated DM header now includes an avatar image with status next to the name.
Bot
GM
Threads
Channel Menu
Add icons and re-organize the channel menu.
Add ‘More actions’ submenu for Plugin/App actions.
Make a submenu for editing channel details
Future Updates
The updates above will help pave the way to allow for proper bookmarks/links functionality in the header - rather than relying on markdown formatting. TBD
In the next phase, the channel menu and channel info will display in a new Channel Info Right Sidebar View.
