UI update makes messages too compact; Active tab should toggle

littlemissdash

I thought I had somehow switched into Compact view, when Discord automatically updated the other day! But no, it's just the new UI. The spacing between the lines feels too compressed now. Other users have mentioned the removal of the grey line, and I have to agree with them -- I found it cleaner and easier to read with the grey line. Maybe this could be a third way of viewing messages compared to Cozy and Compact, but whatever happens, I'd prefer that the previous appearance for Cozy was brought back.

As well, I don't enjoy the Active tab. I was surprised to find there was no toggle option on it. Maybe others have a use for it, but I'm not particularly interested in seeing when and what people are playing. I hope that you'll include an option to toggle it soon.

    Same, I thought I was in compact mode or something at first. The messages feel too claustrophobic now. I tried turning up the spacing between messages but it just feels like meaningless empty space between overly compact messages. I miss the old spacing and grey lines. I wish they would at least give us an option to change it back.

    I really hate the constant highlighting of my messages. And the old spacing was so much better. I've toggled the "Space between message groups" in appearance to 24px but it barely helped. I'm not sure if everyone else is experiencing this, but in my servers the lefthand side bar where everyone's names are is an extreme waste of space. There is a solid inch or two where there is no text at all, meanwhile all of our messages are cramped into one space. It's very unpleasing to the eye, and I wish I hadn't updated it.
