Enhance visibility of selected profile

4 votes

Make active profile more obvious.

GitKraken Profiles allow easy switching between different repositories. It should be very clear which profile is currently selected. Either at the profile selector or at the title bar.

Right now only a small icon is shown in the profile selector, which gives little insight.

Currently the profile menu has a seperate submenu for switching the active profile. This adds a lot of extra movement and clicks when switching profiles.

Condense all the options to a single menu to make switching faster and easier.

Related to this: on Mac, in the preferences main menu, there is a profile dropdown selector. When hovering over the dropdown, a button appears that says 'Edit Profile'. When the button appears, the dropdown arrow moves making it hard to click. I realize I can click anywhere in the box to open the menu, but I habitually go for the arrow as most dropdown menus use that arrow to open. My suggestion is to make the edit profile button smaller and static to prevent accidental clicks. Perhaps the commonly used edit pencil icon could replace the 'Edit Profile' button?
