Change the color of the top bar to something more neutral
The navigation bar on desktop is:
- Brightly coloured
- Has big text
- Quite tall
- Wider than on mobile, so covers an even bigger area
- Sticky
Which all together gives it the visual prominence and severity of a cookies management popup on a news website. It absolutely dominates the UI when using Manyverse, and is a major contributor to the feeling of using a mobile app.
In the short term, would it be possible to give only the desktop version these styles?
- Monochrome background
- smaller text
- shorter height
In the long term, I'd love to see that bar disappear completely on desktop, with its functionality moved into the always-visible left-side navigation. The currently active tab is highlighted already, and search and navigation could be moved there as well.
