Current Issue:
When browsing conversations in the Intercom inbox, it's difficult to identify which conversation is currently selected. The existing visual indicator (slightly emboldened outlines) is too subtle and doesn't provide clear confirmation of the active conversation.

Proposed Solution:
Implement a more prominent visual distinction for the selected conversation to improve user experience and reduce confusion. This could include:

  • Adding a contrasting background color to the selected conversation (e.g., light blue, gray, or branded color)
  • Maintaining white backgrounds for unselected conversations while giving the active one a distinctly different appearance
  • Enhancing the overall visual treatment to create clear differentiation between selected and unselected states

Expected Benefit:
This enhancement would make it immediately apparent which conversation is currently active, improving workflow efficiency and reducing user confusion when managing multiple conversations simultaneously.

Use Case:
This is particularly valuable for support agents and teams who handle high volumes of conversations and need to quickly identify their current focus without second-guessing their selection.
