So we need an option to hide it.
Also we need other options.
So we need an settings window to rule them all.

This window should be implemented as a standard OS X "Preferences..." window with Cmd+, shortcut.

The list of options is open for discussion.

It would be great, if user can see the list of his/her/its contacts in application.

The cell in list may contain the following:

• The avatar of the contact
• The nickname/name of contact
• The last message or status of contact. Or both.
• The several buttons for optional actions (call to user, or delete user)
• The date/time of last activity
• The last activity status (was the message read or it's just sent)

The list of features is open for discussion.
Actually, it would be nice if list will be scrollable. It would be nicer if I'll take english lessons.

Cells may separate with each other by default grid or custom view with single line. I think custom view would be rather.

That's all for now.

We cannot connect to the tox, because all we did - just a UI.
Right now we need to establish actual connection with tox network and start using real data instead of fictional.

There is no place to write and read messages.
We need to get one.

The reading part is very simple: it's just a table with some cells. Cells will contain a name of user who is wrote a message, user's avatar, time, activity and, obviously, a message itself.
Also cell may have some additional features, like selection for deleting, forwarding or replying.
Table may contain search field for history navigation.

The writing part will be just a bar at bottom of window with text field and some buttons: for sending message, for sending media, for additional actions (emoji and other social stuff).

Also, I think, we need to implement bar at the top with full information about your companion: his/her/its hash value, status message, media and documents and so on.

This issue is open for discussion.

There is no interface for calling.

I am against of using "standard" interface for calling (a big view with an user avatar like in skype). It's not much useful. I propose not to create a call view as a separated unit, but as an integrated one.

At message view we will have a top bar with user information. I think we may add there information about calling and let the user see and write messages, send documents, search history and so on.
Also there will be calling controls (end call, mute microphone, etc).

So, to implement this feature, #4 must be done.

This issue is open for discussion.
