# Labs features
|
|
|
|
If Labs is enabled in the [Riot config](config.md), you can enable some of these features by going
|
|
to `Settings->Labs`. This list is non-exhaustive and subject to change, chat in
|
|
[#riot-web:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#riot-web:matrix.org) for more information.
|
|
|
|
**Be warned! Labs features are not finalised, they may be fragile, they may change, they may be
|
|
dropped. Ask in the room if you are unclear about any details here.**
|
|
|
|
## Font scaling (`feature_font_scaling`)
|
|
|
|
Enables font scaling options for accessibility. To alter the scale check the
|
|
appearance tab in settings.
|
|
|
|
## Message pinning (`feature_pinning`)
|
|
|
|
Allows you to pin messages in the room. To pin a message, use the 3 dots to the right of the message
|
|
and select "Pin".
|
|
|
|
## Custom status (`feature_custom_status`)
|
|
|
|
An experimental approach for supporting custom status messages across DMs. To set a status, click on
|
|
your avatar next to the message composer.
|
|
|
|
## Custom tags (`feature_custom_tags`)
|
|
|
|
An experimental approach for dealing with custom tags. Custom tags will appear in the bottom portion
|
|
of the community filter panel.
|
|
|
|
Setting custom tags is not supported by Riot.
|
|
|
|
## Render simple counters in room header (`feature_state_counters`)
|
|
|
|
Allows rendering of labelled counters above the message list.
|
|
|
|
Once enabled, send a custom state event to a room to set values:
|
|
|
|
1. In a room, type `/devtools` to bring up the devtools interface
|
|
2. Click "Send Custom Event"
|
|
3. Toggle from "Event" to "State Event"
|
|
4. Set the event type to: `re.jki.counter` and give it a unique key
|
|
5. Specify the content in the following format:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"link": "",
|
|
"severity": "normal",
|
|
"title": "my counter",
|
|
"value": 0
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it. Now should see your new counter under the header.
|
|
|
|
## Multiple integration managers (`feature_many_integration_managers`)
|
|
|
|
Exposes a way to access all the integration managers known to Riot. This is an implementation of [MSC1957](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1957).
|
|
|
|
## New ways to ignore people (`feature_mjolnir`)
|
|
|
|
When enabled, a new settings tab appears for users to be able to manage their ban lists.
|
|
This is a different kind of ignoring where the ignored user's messages still get rendered,
|
|
but are hidden by default.
|
|
|
|
Ban lists are rooms within Matrix, proposed as [MSC2313](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2313).
|
|
[Mjolnir](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir) is a set of moderation tools which support
|
|
ban lists.
|
|
|
|
## Verifications in DMs (`feature_dm_verification`)
|
|
|
|
An implementation of [MSC2241](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2241). When enabled, verification might not work with devices which don't support MSC2241.
|
|
|
|
This also includes a new implementation of the user & member info panel, designed to share more code between showing community members & room members. Built on top of this new panel is also a new UX for verification from the member panel.
|
|
|
|
## Cross-signing
|
|
|
|
Cross-signing ([MSC1756](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1756))
|
|
improves the device verification experience by allowing you to verify a user
|
|
instead of verifying each of their devices.
|
|
|
|
The feature is enabled by default and does not follow a traditional labs flag
|
|
at the moment. If something goes wrong, add this to your config to disable it:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"settingDefaults": {
|
|
"feature_cross_signing": false
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The setting will be removed in a future release, enabling it non-optionally for
|
|
all users.
|
|
|
|
## Event indexing and E2EE search support using Seshat (`feature_event_indexing`)
|
|
|
|
Adds support for search in E2E encrypted rooms. This enables an event indexer
|
|
that downloads, stores, and indexes room messages for E2E encrypted rooms.
|
|
|
|
The existing search will transparently work for encrypted rooms just like it
|
|
does for non-encrypted.
|
|
|
|
## Bridge info tab (`feature_bridge_state`)
|
|
|
|
Adds a "Bridge Info" tab to the Room Settings dialog, if a compatible bridge is
|
|
present in the room. The Bridge info tab pulls information from the `m.bridge` state event ([MSC2346](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2346)). Since the feature is based upon a MSC, most
|
|
bridges are not expected to be compatible, and users should not rely on this
|
|
tab as the single source of truth just yet.
|
|
|
|
## Presence indicator in room list (`feature_presence_in_room_list`)
|
|
|
|
This adds a presence indicator in the room list next to DM rooms where the other
|
|
person is online.
|
|
|
|
## Show padlocks on invite only rooms (`feature_invite_only_padlocks`)
|
|
|
|
This adds padlocks to room list tiles and room header for invite only rooms.
|
|
This feature flag (unlike most) is enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
## Custom themes (`feature_custom_themes`)
|
|
|
|
Custom themes are possible through Riot's [theme support](./theming.md), though
|
|
normally these themes need to be defined in the config for Riot. This labs flag
|
|
adds an ability for end users to add themes themselves by using a URL to the JSON
|
|
theme definition.
|
|
|
|
