Bring Ghost Mode button back to the main chat homepage
The Ghost Mode button was originally on the chat homepage, making quick access easy. Now moved to the Lumo side menu, it requires an extra step. While the side menu is tidy, it lessens the feature's visibility and slows the workflow for users who frequently rely on Ghost Mode.
It would be great if Proton could restore the Ghost Mode button to the main chat homepage, near the "New chat" button, while optionally keeping a duplicate in the side menu for consistency. Alternatively, it would add a setting that allows users to choose where the Ghost Mode button appears.

I agree with Kevin on this completely!! Lumo+ 2.0 layout is clean, but removing that bottom (or top) navigation window icon and leaving it only in the top left is disruptive to workflow. Please keep it available on screen as suggested. The elegance of simplicity is fewer clicks, not more. The Ghost Mode is now a toggle, never quite sure its activated for one-offs. How about putting it as a separate line item or in the "tools" section? Thanks for your consideration!

Since Lumo 2.0, the toggle for starting an Incognito Chat has been moved to the left sidebar, next to "New Chat". Previously, it was accessible directly from the top-right area of the UI.
The problem: I prefer to keep my sidebar collapsed to maximize the chat area. With the toggle now in the sidebar, starting an Incognito Chat requires three clicks: open the sidebar, toggle Incognito on, collapse the sidebar again. What used to be a single click is now a multi-step interaction.
Please consider moving the Incognito toggle back to the top-right area (or adding a keyboard shortcut), so it remains accessible regardless of sidebar state.
