Chat is ugly

[agg23]

Chat is ugly and has a number of significant usability issues:

• Left/right padding not aligning with close button and title
• Top down padding not fading nicely in/out, particularly at the bottom of the scroll view - Possibly putting some solid color below the scroll view will be sufficient for this
• Username colors may conflict with glass background, making them nearly impossible to read
• Need better icon for pop out
• Need icon for pop in
• Something needs to be done if video window is resized to be very small while chat is opened. Either close the chat, or change the min window size

Some chat messages are being cut off for an unknown reason.

Spamming chat open/closed can connect multiple clients.

The animation spawning chat doesn't call onAppear/task, thus it doesn't scroll to the bottom until the animation completes.

A mostly empty chat gets vertically centered.

@richardsj How are you running Sila? Are you using the current App Store version? Are you running on current HEAD?

Is this a certain channel that is not allowing you to open chat?

Thank you

Thank you for the report. This actually confirms something I've been wondering about for a while.

VoD support was not intended to ship, as it's been in an unfinished state for quite a while. I believe it got accidentally released with the most recent update (updating for visionOS 26).

I plan on properly supporting VoDs in the next release. This release will be quite large, bringing significant improvements to much of the app. It may be some time until this ships, however.
