For the menu, I using this css:
```css
#navmenuv {
position: absolute;
z-index: 9999;
height: 50px;
margin-left: 670px;
}
#navmenuv li a {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
line-height: 60px;
padding: 0 15px;
}
#navmenuv li a:hover {
color: gray;
}
#navmenuv ul.nav {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#navmenuv .nav li {
display:inline;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
```
And:
```html
```
For the white text, I’m using the personal color:
EDIT:
I tried disable the header menu, but the problem persists…
It is aligned to the far left…

Ah yes, it’s because of my little hack. I just reverted it. Pull in the latest and try again.
Will have to tweak that hack slightly..

It’s worked for me ^^
I think I found an error…
When I click on the arrow, the chat disappears… is a bug?

I’m assuming nothing was entered in the composer? That’s intended actually. It’s the same as the normal Discourse compose. Try clicking on the arrow on the far right of the composer on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) when you haven’t written anything. If you enter text it will minimize rather than disappear.
edit: But yeah, that’s something I did consider changing from the normal Discourse compose experience. Decided not to for now.

Ok the hack to make the header button align with Babble’s should work without interfering in other css now.

Uploads are now working for each individual quick message compose.

Thanks for the update =D
But, I have a one question…
How can change the css color for the icon? (upload etc?)
Now, I see the white color…

This is how my quick message plugin looks when someone message me:
Is this okay? @angus

Are you also using my [Topic List Previews](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/41630) plugin by any chance? This happens if you use both of these together at the moment. I will be fixing this, so you can use both together, soon.

No, quick messages is not a default plugin (in the sense that is comes with Discourse), you will have to remove it from your plugins directory/app.yml and then perform a rebuild to remove it.

@Rodelio_Lagahit @Roxelle Ok this issue should be fixed now. You can use Quick Messages and Topic List Previews together safely now.
What was happening was that both Quick Messages and Topic List Previews were overriding the `excerpt` and `include_excerpt` methods used in the Listable Topic (or Topic List Item) serializer. So I just moved Quick Messages over to a new method `message_excerpt` so the two would not conflict.
```plaintext
def message_excerpt
if object.archetype == Archetype.private_message
cooked = Post.where(topic_id: object.id, post_number: object.highest_post_number).pluck('cooked')
excerpt = PrettyText.excerpt(cooked[0], 200, keep_emoji_images: true)
excerpt.gsub!(/(\[image\])/, "") if excerpt
excerpt
else
return false
end
end
def include_message_excerpt?
!!message_excerpt
end
```
[https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-quick-messages/commit/2a71ff7c83f253edeea1d43224b1ef6c779cf836](https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-quick-messages/commit/2a71ff7c83f253edeea1d43224b1ef6c779cf836)
Btw, notice that, like in Topic List Previews, I’m stripping out the [image] text which acts as a placeholder for an image in a excerpt.
`excerpt.gsub!(/(\[image\])/, "") if excerpt`
This was originally a request for Topic List Previews, and I also think that having ‘[image]’ placeholders in excerpts looks a little…unpolished. I’m experimenting here with putting the Font Awesome icon fa-picture-o in its place so that there is still a placeholder for images in excerpts. If message only contains an image some kind of placeholder is necessary, otherwise the excerpt will show up blank. Any feedback or ideas on that are welcome.

The concept fits very well in the Discourse paradigm. Thank you very much for your great work.
Has the issue with your [topic list preview](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/41630) plugin been fixed since then? I wanted to use both.

# Issue
After clicking on the “close” button, the input textarea gets hidden, but the chatbox remains open and I can’t close it anymore wherever I click.
