Week 16 - Enhanced chat settings and interactive components
Jun 15th, 2025
This week, we've focused on creating more intuitive user controls and expanding customization options throughout the application. Our development efforts have concentrated on building flexible components that improve both desktop and mobile experiences. In particular, we’ve aimed to make Settings more accessible and enjoyable to use: from toggle switches that are easier to tap on mobile, to resizable elements that adapt to varied screen setups. These improvements are laying the groundwork for a more seamless and personalized experience, whether users want to quickly adjust preferences on their phone or fine-tuning workspace settings on a larger display.
Chat temperature settings
Users now have granular control over AI conversation behavior through the new Chat Temperature settings. This feature is accessible through the Chat Settings window, where users can adjust their preferred temperature level and save the configuration for future conversations. The implementation provides immediate application of settings without requiring app restart.
Resizable sidebar
We've enhanced workspace flexibility with a fully resizable sidebar system. Users can now drag the sidebar boundary to their preferred width, accommodating different workflow preferences and screen sizes. The resize functionality includes smooth visual feedback and remembers user preferences across sessions, creating a more personalized application experience.
Switch component - Color customization
We've introduced our native Switch component that serves as a modern alternative to traditional checkboxes, particularly optimized for Settings interfaces. The Switch features smooth animations that provide immediate visual feedback, creating a more engaging and responsive user experience.
Our Switch component supports multiple accent colors, allowing for specific theming while maintaining accessibility standards. Each color variant maintains proper contrast ratios and clear state indication across different UI contexts.
Switch component - Dark mode integration
The Switch seamlessly adapts to dark mode environments with carefully calibrated color schemes that ensure visibility and usability in low-light conditions. The animation transitions remain smooth and consistent regardless of the active theme.
Switch component - Responsive sizing
We've implemented multiple size variants for the Switch component, making it particularly effective on mobile devices where touch targets need to be appropriately sized for finger interaction. The larger mobile-friendly variants maintain the same elegant animations while providing better accessibility.
Looking forward
Next week, we're expanding our component library with enhanced Slider components that will provide even more granular control options. We're also planning to introduce additional chat settings that will give users deeper customization capabilities over their AI interactions, building on the foundation established with our temperature controls.
That's our wrap up for Week 16. Thank you all and stay tuned for more updates from the 120.dev team!
