Previously, I had suggested changing the background of this element from white to dark, to match the dark theme, however this has resulted in the user's account name in the status menu becoming unreadable.
sss

Secondly, I'm now of the opinion that white was more readable and appropriate than the new colour. I think this change should be reverted, or, instead, it could use a dark colour which does not match the background on which is hovers above to improve readability.

My bad, I didn't see this one ! I'll fix it asap 😉

To answer your second point, I also tried a dark "lighter" color, thinking it was better, but I changed my mind because in normal/light mode, Rocket Chat uses one color for the sidebar, and one color for the main chat panel and menus... So I tried to do the same, including border shadow color modifications to improve readability

I'll show you some screenshots so everyone can decide which one is better (maybe by upvoting each message ?)

Here's RocketChat original colors

RC_Menu_Original

And here's what I did in #162

RC_Menu_Dark

One option could be to use --color-dark-medium

RC_Menu_DarkMedium

Another option would be to use --color-darkest

RC_Menu_Darkest
