Oh lord, this is awesome! In my opinion, the double-click method currently in place isnā€™t intuitive, some members donā€™t know how to access their inboxes (speaking of the double click).

This componen isnā€™t working anymore because of new notification menu and sidebar, right?

Thanks. So this is part of legacy tools and will on its end-of-life cycle. Well, the sidebar make this a bit unnecessary.

Kind of. I feel it would be nice add-on in new layout too :wink:

Hi there @awesomerobot,

I noticed the theme component doesnā€™t work with the new notification menu (see image below).

Maybe an update to this component is in order? Or maybe there is another way to create a new PM in the new notification menu that I have yet to find out?

Thanks for mentioning it! Iā€™ve just added support for the new user menu:

This is dependent on a change within Discourse, so youā€™ll also need a Discourse upgrade for it to work: DEV: add panel-body-bottom outlet to user menu by awesomerobot Ā· Pull Request #21386 Ā· discourse/discourse Ā· GitHub
