    Default Chat window eye

    At U14, they changed the chat windows box to put the "eye" button (that turns the chat transparent) from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. While the button still works as described, the "eye" icon itself do not turn transparent, and you get a floating "eye" in your screen.



    At the time, the reason for the change was because they changed the chat box to have a inverse round corner to fit at their ampersand button, and thus, the place where the eye button was, was removed. There was lots of complaints, but done is done.

    At U19, to fix the "can't click on the chat box" problem, they raised the chat entry a level above, and left us with a big gray bottom that only stay there to model the inward round corner.

    What I'm asking for is: Change the current chat box from this:



    To this:



    Thank you.

    Honestly, it would be simpler to put it back where it belongs ( top left ) instead of bottom left.
    But I agree that it needs to be moved from it's location.

    And get rid of that stupid bit of circle, it's useful for only one single chat window when it's at a specific location.
    Most of us have more than one chat window and they usually are not in that location, so we are wasting a lot of screen real estate with it.
    ( on the other hand it's great to hide other UI stupidity : the shard counter )
