The devices entry gone (not even Element has this) and so is the logout
action. The Switch account menu item is moved to the bottom so its
easier to access by mouse. The "Open Secret Backup" is moved under
Security settings where it lives next to the other crypto-related
settings.
Having both the member list and permission controls is troublesome, and
scales the larger your moderation team is. We eventually may want to
manage banned/muted users too so I think it warrants having a new page.
I also moved the search field to the top so it's more accessible.
As for permissions, I tried to improve the UX generally while not
changing it too heavily. First the easy change is to the text, hopefully
the sections should be clearer (especially for "state" events.) The
bigger change here is the new sections, I tried to make it more useful
and organized. Additionally, I added more permissions like sharing live
locations and polls so they're more easily configurable.
One other change is that permissions are visible regardless of whether
you can set them or not, matching Element's behavior.
I added a separator, made it so the "Copy Room ID to clipboard" button
is always shown, and made it more obvious that "Upgrade Room" prompts
you first.
In my opinion, the significance of these options was still not super
clear. It wasn't obvious that the setting under Appearance will disable
them globally, and that the per-room option was discoverable.
Another change was using the term "Link preview" instead of "URL
preview", which is more common verbiage in chat applications other than
Element.
As seen in the bug report, this setting is a bit confusing. First, it
refers to "message activity" but in reality it does take into account
all events. This is fine in my opinion, so I clarified that point.
Another thing is that it wasn't clear that timeline visibility settings
currently affect the sorting, so I added a tip about that.
Finally I wasn't happy with these two options being called "Activity"
so the old "Activity" setting is now called "Importance". The "Last
Message Activity" setting is now called "Newest Events".
BUG: 508480
FIXED-IN: 25.12.0
This should allow the devices page to hide the "Verify this Device"
warning, once you actually complete verification. I also made sure to
update the other consumer - the menu item under the user menu.
Additionally, I also fixed the password field not being automatically
focused when trying to remove a device.
I re-arranged everything now so it makes more semantic sense, e.g. all
the message layout stuff is together in one card. I also made
bubble-only options hide themselves to reduce the amount of clutter
for compact layout users. Some small grammatical things were changed
like "Show Avatar" -> "Show Avatars".
This button is currently hidden under the user menu, but it should be
shown more prominently - especially under the Devices settings. The
button under the user menu and this new one is now hidden when your
device is already verified.
Clients like Element and ours show the room encryption mode as a toggle,
which in my opinion doesn't make sense. It's an irreversible operation,
so it should be a button!
When encryption is already used in the room, the button turns into a
non-interactive card.
This changes references to "global notification settings" to "default
settings", which should hopefully make it clearer what these actually
are.
Also, a information tip has been added to the settings page to clarify
what these settings do and imply that the per-room settings take
precedence.
Title this adds a number of options for when messages should be automatically marked as read for the user to choose from.

Restore the functionality where clicking on "edit this account" from the AccountMenu opens setting to the account rather than pushing as its own window
When the DevicesModel is open, we get a nullptr instance. I guess it's
obvious that it's null because it hasn't been set yet. Move the connect
to the setter.
This has (as I've seen) confuse some users because we put this
information front and center. The internal room ID and it's version
isn't relevant for 99% of users, especially since most of them don't
even have permission to touch these.
Instead, let's do what Element smartly does and put it under an Advanced
page you have to intentionally find. This also has the knock-on effect
of propping up the importance of room aliases, which now appear higher
in the general settings.
We can remove a lot of duplicative labeling here: "Room Information",
"Room Name", "RoomTopic", etc. The "Save" button now looks like a proper
form card element, like it does in the account editor.
