Closes #343.

Result on small device:

I think this is unnecessary clutter on the desktop - maybe hide it there?

[astorije]

Nah, I think it's just as valuable on desktop than mobile. I was kinda not fond of the idea at first, but you get used to it in 5 seconds and it's actually not bad to have it there.

Slack added this fairly recently too, pretty sure some people complained about accidentally messaging the wrong coworkers :D

@MaxLeiter, once this is enabled, if you really don't like it, you can easily hide it with #input::-webkit-input-placeholder { opacity: 0; } (or visibility: hidden), using the prefix you need, in your custom CSS.
It's not possible for someone to display this otherwise though.

[MaxLeiter]

That's fine, but sidenote: I really think we should avoid a "you can use custom CSS if you don't like it" mentality, because we shouldn't assume the average user understands CSS (or even knows that box exists).

Can't wait for tabbed-page settings (or some equivalent)...

I completely agree with you on this, we should make an app that's optimal and well-thought in the first place, and leave that custom CSS to those of us who have very specific and sometimes weird requirements.
In this case however, I'm with @xPaw and @YaManicKill, I think it makes for a better user experience.

Yeah, seems fine to me. Can't think of a better way of doing it, so looks good :-)
