UX: Room settings location #2615

Trying to find the room settings, I was thrown off by its location. Looking at the screenshot above the UI has two sections:

  • The first is about the room. It's clearly marked as such as it contains the room's name. It also has some options/actions in the top right corner.
  • The second is the description. Well, there is no description in this case, and I don't think I've ever seen one, but I imagine, there could be one. What's weird is, that the description actually has a settings button. Why does the description need settings? Well… maybe I can change the description in there?

Correct is, that I can change the description in the description settings, but these aren't actually the description settings. They are the room settings. The title is just misleading.

Actually, the buttons are more like tabs, but if that's their function, why not just make them tabs? Or, if you want then to remain buttons, move them to the room block and away from what seems like the description block.

Additional explanation and a few ideas:
