Here's a netlify link, if you wanted to test: |
Rooms with unread activity but no notification count (muted rooms, push-rule-downgraded rooms) showed a small grey dot in the room list and kept appearing in the collapsed "unread only" nav section even though nothing actually needed attention. This adds a "Hide Unread Activity Dots" toggle (off by default) under Settings › Notifications › System with three coordinated effects: 1. UnreadBadge: when the setting is on, skip rendering the dot entirely for rooms where count=0 and highlight=false. 2. Nav collapse filter (Direct, Home, Space): reads the same setting reactively — when on, the collapsed category shows only rooms with total>0 or highlight>0; when off, it reverts to the original behaviour of showing all rooms that have any unread activity. Toggling the setting in Settings updates the nav instantly without a page reload. 3. Settings UI: adds the toggle under Settings › Notifications › System.

Uhm, maybe I'm misunderstanding the purpose of this PR, but your "After" screenshot just seems to hide all the rooms that had this Unread Indicator |

@CrazyNicc thx for answering so quickly! Yes that's exactly the point. A lot of irrelevant events trigger that unread marker and I think it makes sense to hide them for some users who get a lot of messages 🙈 Also it is shown when the room is muted I think and probably in other scenarios. There are also a lot of bugs that are related to them. |

@chagai95 Oh, afaik muting the room also removed all the read indicators.
But your screenshot completely hides the rooms themselves, not just the unread markers of these rooms. Or did I miss something? |
It hides them from the unread view, when the section is closed (arrow not down), maybe muting the room helps with that, didn't check but I don't want to start muting all my rooms just to avoid seeing this, on fluffy chat it's not shown by default in the unread tab. |

The idea is to get rid of showing those type of unread rooms and keep only the ones with the number which are a lot more reliable and important.
This is how it looks before:
and this is after:
