Account Sidebar: Further Steps

[Simon-Laux]

• Multi Account Notifications #3680 (assigned to @Simon-Laux for now)
• context menu backdrop Native UX or web UX for the context menu #3643 (@adzialocha)
  • this will solve the small ux bug that you can still trigger the hover menu with your mouse when a context menu is active
• Remove Sidebar menu #3668
• Account Sidebar: No window titlebar on MacOS #3670
• Refactor to remove possible races when switching account in message list / chatstore #3675
• cursor pointer for account items (@adzialocha)
• Flickering issue when hovering over account switch avatar #3681 (@adzialocha)

Beyond 1.44

• on open: scroll currently active account into view
• core: set sync for single accounts feat: disable background io per account, available apis in rust and jsonrpc deltachat-core-rust#5314
• core: mute accounts? (notification is handled by ui so this would probably just store the setting/option and if we allow time based then revert once the mute time is over?) -> rather "ui.*" setting
• core: Drag and Drop to reorder accounts, needs core support to store position somehow
• indicators on top and bottom if there are unread accounts out of screen
• core: ensure there are core events for all cases where the account list is updated to remove the window.__updateAccountListSidebar hack

nice to have

• Find an even better background image for account deletion

Regarding, this:

Drag and Drop to reorder accounts, needs core support to store position somehow

Doesn't core already support some mechanism of saving data no matter what?

there are custom ui.* config keys per account, but not per account manager, yet. Also this needs some thinking about how to store positions smartly to not introduce bug where accounts are hidden/missing, maybe seeking of priority number for each account or if we store an order array, then only take it as suggestion and display missing accounts at the end or sth like that.
