@blenderskool I agree we could do this, though we already do show the active stream (or more broadly, 'narrow') at the top of the message list. Do you mean the active narrow being highlighted in eg. the stream list, user list, or whichever other place matches the narrow being shown?

@neiljp Yes, the active stream is shown at the top of message list. But I think it's more natural to see the active stream on the sidebar. So that while choosing another stream, you don't have to look away from the sidebar to remind yourself of the active stream.

In the screenshot, we could have something highlighting the #frontend while still keeping it at the top of the messages list.

@blenderskool Right, that's what I suspected you meant, but also note that we'd likely want to do it for all other 'special' narrows that there is a user-interface for - ie. if a topic list is shown, highlight the topic, if in the top-left narrows, highlight those, if a single-user conversation, highlight the user, etc.

@neiljp Yeah makes sense. There is already highlighting for the selected message, online users. Maybe a consistent pattern across the layouts could be built based on that.

I think this would be interesting to implement, should/can I work on this?

Yes, of course! (You can use @zulipbot claim to assign yourself on issues)
