Feature: indicate which chats have unread messages

[rinchen]

As a user,
I want to see which chats have unread messages,
so I can go directly to those chats and not have to cycle through every chat to find the one with unread messages.

currently, the new chat messages go to the top, so hopefully u shouldn't need to cycle through them, but I get what u mean
this could be combined with a read/unread system to have a message preview as well.
what do you think would be best design wise to indicate this? maybe just like a white circle on the right side?

[rinchen]

For me I wouldn't see a white circle since the chats are white. A solid red circle would be good, or a red number indicating the number of unread messages.

[garv-shah]

see, the thing is, the red and green circles currently represent offline/online, so design wise it may be confusing
what about black circles on light mode?

[rinchen]

Maybe something other than a circle?

[garv-shah]

maybe, I'll have to see what design looks good, I don't really want to yo to be too cluttered though
I'll get back to this after I've implemented a read receipt system
