The new version of Element, the official client, changed to an annoying layout and forced it upon everyone. V1.5.6 of Element also changed something with the syncing and v1.5.6 takes an extremely long times to sync which makes the application useless for quick messaging - who wants to wait 10-15 seconds every time you switch to the application to send a message? This version is a fork before those changes and is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
